Elluminate (http://www.elluminate.com/) offers a similar service as Wimba. Viterbo only has the chat room in Blackboard. The Elluminate platform offers a more robust set of options including a white board for visual presentation such as Keynote and PowerPoint. The student can either participate via microphone and headset or by typing in the dialogue box. Presentations can be recorded for review or for the student who cannot attend due to a schedule conflict. Part of the curriculum is a team visual presentation their final Global Sustainability Project. A team of evaluators will observe the presentations. After each presentation there will be a question and answer session. The evaluators will offer suggestions regarding necessary revisions to the presentations. The students will be given a second time to present the revisions. An option for the utilization of Elluminate is to offer a blended presentation with a live Viterbo student body audience. The audience would view the recorded or live Industry Expert chat before the beginning of breakout sessions. The breakout sessions would be blend of on ground participants and online participants dialoging via Elluminate. A PDF is attached for your convenience.
