Education in the 21st Century is all about engaging more students in more ways with universal access, personalized learning, and a global classroom. At the same time, it's important to create a culture of collaboration between departments, campuses, and institutions to facilitate communication, decrease costs, and increase competitive advantage. We call it elluminating the enterprise.
"Duke is a global institution with an immediate need to extend its reach in terms of affecting teaching, learning, and research. We wanted to find a single solution that would best meet the needs of the entire Duke Community, providing functionality for distance education, opportunities for collaboration, and support for outreach activities."
Ben Rogers, Duke University
"The possibilities of the software are staggering and show the way of the future in terms of increasing flexibility of how learning material can be delivered and how students can learn at their own pace in any environment."
Corey Dickey, Lancaster-Lebanon School District
"We decided to implement this technology on a system level for the benefit of all 109 campuses in the California Community College System. This project is one of the good stories about educational technology, and we don't have many of them. Here we can say people are meeting, they are happy, they are conducting classes, and they keep coming back. This is an investment that just plain makes sense."
Blaine Morrow, CCC Confer
