Elluminate

I watched the archived Eluminate session for collections over the weekend. This is such a thrilling tool! some students have commented how it makes classes as good as live classes--I think it is BETTER. I have difficulty learning by hearing, but taking notes helps--be Ellumintate does it for me. I can see, I can ask questions, but best of all I can REVIEW. I can watch when I am able to pay attention, rather than at the end of the day (like normal class time) when I am exhausted from kids and work. I can watch the good parts over and over, and review later when needed. BRILLIANT!

How could a live class be better?

Now not all people learn visually, or through demonstration, and many people like the class situation, the other students, the personalities. I am too busy for that! I need to get my information and get out so I can complete the huge amount of tasks I have in a day. For me, online classes are perfect--and Elluminate is an amazing tool.

My college is talking about getting the Rumba upgrade for Blackboard. I must tell them about Elluminate--and demonstrate it to Kristin, our distance education head. My librarian supervisor was amazed by it when I demonstrated it after the first class. I bet Kristin would be too. What an amazing tool!
