The highlight of the Members Only section on our new website is the free member access to an Elluminate meeting room. I have been involved in distance learning for 20 years and Elluminate's collaborative web-based tools are impressively flexible and can be applied to any area with ease. The USDLA and Elluminate partnership adds a valuable dimension to the USDLA's ability to provide virtual classroom space to its members and to host the Association's learning community webinars.

A number of customers within the ANGEL community have adopted Eluminate's product and provide positive reference for supporting Elluminate at the higher level. We’re pleased to expand our partnership with Elluminate and offer our customers an improved range of options for their synchronous instruction needs.
Ray Henderson, Chief Products Officer, ANGEL Learning
Roughly 80% of our program is asynchronous with the ANGEL Learning Management Suite, and each course has at least one scheduled Elluminate virtual classroom instructional session per week. So Elluminate’s ANGEL integration is an important effort for us.
For many organizations today, a successful eLearning solution means a blended approach using both asynchronous and synchronous technology. Through alliances with the world's leading software, hardware, and service providers, Elluminate delivers an ever-expanding set of tools and integrations to support our customers’ education initiatives and business strategies now and in the future. We are extremely pleased that our efforts continue to be supported by growing customer adoption.
