Elluminate Delivers Real-time, Online, Instructor-led Training for ctc TrainCanada

Virtual Classroom Facilitates Human Interaction While Decreasing or Even Eliminating Costly Travel

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida., (January 23, 2006) — Elluminate, Inc., a leading provider of live eLearning and Web collaboration solutions for the real-time organization, announced today that ctc TrainCanada has selected Elluminate Live! Academic Edition™ to provide real-time, instructor-led desktop and technical application training over the Internet for its government and corporate clients, eliminating expensive travel, especially for those in remote areas. The company will use Elluminate Live! for its publicly offered courses, breaking each into easily digested one to two-hour sessions that enable clients to stay productive on the job. In addition, Elluminate Live! will be included as part of the company's customized training plan proposals.

"In the past, we shied away from the old, asynchronous eLearning model for the simple fact that it does not provide good training," said Mark Peterson, president of ctc TrainCanada. "However, we realized that people want the flexibility that eLearning provides, enabling them to learn at their own pace from their own desk. With Elluminate Live! our deployment of the technology has evolved to enable instructor-led training online. It's the best of both worlds, and Elluminate Live! is all encompassing, with no additional phone line required for audio communication. We didn't want our students to have to use multiple tools."

"Our instructors see Elluminate Live! as an excellent way to provide training and are excited about the challenge of learning how to teach using a new methodology," added Peterson. "All of us in the training field understand that clients want to use technology to assist with training, but human interaction remains key because people learn from people, not books. Everyone involved, including clients, instructors, and sales staff, feels that Elluminate Live! is a really positive way to marry technology and training."

"Elluminate is pleased to work with ctc TrainCanada to expand its education services, reaching additional markets and providing much-needed training for clients for whom travel is increasingly cost prohibitive," said Maurice Heiblum, Elluminate's VP of Sales & Marketing. "Elluminate Live! Academic Edition™ enables reliable communication, dynamic interaction, and enhanced learning at a distance, which is critical for a company that serves an area with a widely dispersed population, like Canada."
