When designing a course using Elluminate, the time frame must be considered. Make sure the time frame is adequate for the material you are intending to teach. Then, once you have the lesson plans established, make sure your lessons and activities flow smoothly. Activities should include group breakout sessions. Breakout sessions gives students the opportunity to learn from and teach their peers. I still have alot to learn about Elluminate, but I think it is great for people who have a long distance to travel. Elluminate is a great opportunity that allows students to work from home or a closer location to home instead of driving to class. We can still gather in groups, talk to each other through the Internet, listen to lectures being taught, and have group activities. I don't think my construction class would be easy to teach this way, but I like having class this way this semester.
