"We see Elluminate Live! as a versatile tool for a range of application scenarios, from recorded assignment feedback via flexible group workshops to mass multi-campus events," said Tim Neumann of the London Knowledge Lab. "Elluminate can adapt to a multitude of settings and yet retain a high usability." "We ran some online tutorials via Elluminate Live! for students studying Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics, a first-year course in our Bachelor of Engineering Degree programme," said Peter Bullen of the University of Hertfordshire. "We recorded the sessions and made them available to the students from the course web page on our Managed Learning Environment, StudyNet." Elluminate Live! was also used at the JISC (Joint Information Systems Committee) 2007 online conference and by its Emerge Project to support collaboration activities. "The experience of using the Elluminate audiographic environment with simultaneous video, text, audio and graphic display for distributed collaboration and co-presence was, even for this old jade, an exciting new learning experience similar to the excitement I felt using Blackboard and multi-threaded text chat for the first time," said Emerge Project Director George Roberts of Oxford Brookes University. In related news, Elluminate has entered into a preferred partnership with the Association for Learning Technology and is a major sponsor at this week's ALT-C 2007, organized by the Association for Learning Technology and held in Nottingham between 4 and 6 September.
