Live eLearning and Web Conferencing Technology also Facilitates Online Technical Support

Calgary, Alberta, Canada, (December 11, 2006) — Elluminate, Inc., a leading provider of live eLearning and web collaboration solutions for the real-time organization, announced today that San José State University School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) has selected Elluminate Live! Academic Edition™ to enable synchronous participation in its distance learning program, enhancing teaching and learning and providing the social interaction important for students in an online environment.

The largest of its kind in the world, the SLIS serves more than 1,500 students throughout California, across the nation and around the globe. The school is implementing Elluminate Live! in a wide variety of areas, including instructor office hours, student group work, student and teacher presentations, faculty and student training and guest lecturers. In addition, SLIS uses the live eLearning and web collaboration environment for technology troubleshooting and problem resolution.

"I've found that starting instructors out with office hours is a low-stress, easy way for them to experience Elluminate Live! for the first time," said Debbie Faires, assistant director for distance learning for the School of Library and Information Science at San José State University. "The training and support materials on the Elluminate website have enabled me to decrease my workload. It's so easy to send faculty or students to the site, and I also have used the slides available there to develop my own instructor training."

"Elluminate Live! is the perfect place for students to meet with our support people to troubleshoot technical problems," Faires added. "The students can share their desktop to demonstrate the problem, while the technician can take control and fix it. In fact, we now have a permanent Elluminate Live! tech support room available."

"Many academic institutions, like San José State University's School of Library and Information Science, are finding that Elluminate Live! provides a broad solution that supports a wide variety of campus activities, not just online courses," said Maurice Heiblum, president of Elluminate USA, Inc. "We look forward to continuing to work with the school as it expands its use of Elluminate Live! to communicate, educate and collaborate even more effectively in today's global community."
