The Learning Center will be using Elluminate to power our classrooms.

Elluminate is a synchronous online classroom. Each classroom is equipped with a whiteboard that is used for presentations and visual interaction. The teachers and students communicate in real time via text chat and real time chat.

Participants in an Elluminate session can...

• have discussions using voice or text chat
• write, draw, and paste images on a shared whiteboard
• present materials imported from PowerPoint, conduct polls, and give quizzes
• simultaneously view web pages, video, and other multimedia
• use breakout rooms to work in smaller groups
• view or share documents or software running on any participant's computer
• record sessions for later viewing or review

The only equipment required to participate in an Elluminate session is a computer with a high-speed Internet connection, speakers, and a microphone, preferable a USB headset with noise cancellation.

Each student must have access to a computer. Siblings that are in the same class must each have access to a computer, they may not share.
