"After 18 months of reviewing potential software
solutions, we have chosen to work with Elluminate and their
Elluminate Live!™ technology. The
Elluminate Live!™ technology provides
our division with the potential to enhance curricular
offering to our small high schools, and to encourage and
enhance professional collaboration between our teachers,
administrators, and Trustees through the bridging of immense
distances across our jurisdiction."
Dr. Dean Lindquist, Chief
Deputy Superintendent
Aspen View Schools
“Our students look forward to their Elluminate
Live!™ each week. They love the opportunity to
share ideas and information with one another. Not only have
their marks improved since we started using Elluminate
Live!™, but they are more determined to stay
on track in their classes so they have something to
contribute in class each week.”
Terri Reid, Teacher,
InterEd Virtual School Program

School District
“Traditionally, rural students in Canada are falling way
behind urban students. Our provincial exams show our
students are doing as well, if not better, than students
experiencing face-to-face learning. While we do use a
variety of tools, I can tell you that we would not be as
successful without Elluminate Live!™ The
feedback from our students is that they like the product and
find it useful.”
Maurice Barry, Program
Development Specialist
Center for Distance Learning and
Innovation
“Elluminate Live!™ is the backbone of
our events.”
David Holcombe, President

“Elluminate Live!™ has performed
flawlessly. It has enabled us to expand out capabilities
without hiring more people. While Elluminate
Live!™ doesn’t entirely replace international
travel, it certainly complements it. I believe we’ll
continue to use the tool more and more. Like the Internet
and email, we’ll soon wonder what we did without it!”
Luciano Elias,
Asia-Pacific and Latin America Marketing and Sales
Coordinator

"When I saw Elluminate Live!™ in
operation I knew this was going to be something our teachers
would want to use and that would benefit our students. We
just finished a very intensive comparison of 5 different
chat/whiteboard environments involving a large group of
district technical staff, administrators, and teachers.
Elluminate Live!™ turned out to be the
hands-down favorite of everyone involved in the evaluation
process."
Jody Ouradnik, Online
Technical Coordinator
Hopkins Online Academy
“Given the computational intensity of our courses,
Elluminate Live!™ had the particular
combination of features that satisfied our needs, including
voice over IP; an interactive, shared whiteboard; and the
ability to record sessions for later playback.
Elluminate Live!™ helps us provide that
‘in-class’ feeling for our online students and faculty,
which is very important to us.”
Brenda Knox, Senior
Information Technology Specialist

“Elluminate Live!™ is a way of
connecting in an intuitively friendly environment to create
learning opportunities throughout our county and beyond.”
Mary Townsend, Director
Instructional Services
Orange County Department of
Education
“A key capability that we find very valuable is the
record and playback feature. It allows students who can’t
attend the original session to watch the recording
asynchronously. It has been a real benefit for the students,
many of whom work full-time and require some flexibility to
keep current with their studies.”
Dr. Bob Crum, iMBA
Program Instructor
Penn State University World Campus
“After reviewing several collaboration software tools, we
felt that Elluminate Live!™ was the most
appropriate solution for the support of synchronous events
in online distance education environments. In addition, it
was the only product that had a well-developed voice over IP
component.”
Rick Shearer, Assistant
Director for Instructional Design and Delivery
Penn
State University World Campus
“Elluminate Live!™ is producing
spectacular results as our marks are increasing.
Elluminate Live!™ has changed our
methods of instruction and operation.”

“Elluminate Live!™ is a most exciting
change in our school. Our teachers are embracing it with
enthusiasm. …It will dramatically change how we educate our
children. …Elluminate Live!™ is a major
part of our pitch and it is making a difference.”

"Elluminate Live!™ has proven to be
more effective than classroom training by allowing us to
train more users, more often without the need to increase
our budget and people resources"

“This year we decided that a blended environment of
asynchronous and synchronous learning would help us open up
our workshop to a wider audience, nationally and
internationally. We looked at a number of synchronous
solutions and determined that Elluminate
Live!™ was the best fit. It doesn’t require a
phone and works with both PCs and Macs, so it’s convenient
and cost-effective. As part of the overall learning
experience, we think workshop participants will enjoy
combining synchronous with asynchronous methods.”
Keith Bourne, Director of
Marketing
Sloan Consortium
"We found great advantage in the Elluminate
Live!™ model. The ability to reach students
across Canada and around the World in an online environment,
the social and community impact of students meeting in
real-time with their teacher and peers, the stability of the
virtual classroom in a wide variety of demanding conditions,
and its affordability were all reasons we chose
Elluminate Live!™."
Mark MacDonald,
Vice-Principal
St. Paul’s Academy
“We realized a 1000% ROI within the first 18 months of
using Elluminate Live!™.”
Mike Bennett, Senior
Manager of Engineering and Operations Education Services
T-Mobile
“Our biggest challenge was that we didn’t want the
medium, to be a distraction. With Elluminate
Live!™, the user adaption time is incredibly
quick, so members can concentrate on content during
training, rather than the technology used to deliver it.”
