Elluminate Live

Elluminate Live has been great for convenience this year. Although I must admit that if I had to be online for class more than once a week, I'm not sure I could handle it. Despite the fact that I don't have to drive anywhere, can wear what I want, and be at home during class I still have to sit at the computer, and pay attention, for over two hours. Some class sessions are easier to focus on than others - not due to the material - my mood/add/adhd is more to blame. I've always found it easier to interact in a discussion and maintain focus in person. I don't do well on the phone, or in other less personal communication. I am impressed with Elluminate Live's ability to place us in different learning environments while still online. Using the polls, whiteboard, groups and other features allows us, as a class, to accomplish many more activities than I ever thought possible when "online class" was first mentioned last summer. While Elluminate may not be the greatest thing for those of use with active imaginations (or, short attention spans) it definitely gets the job done. As I often end emails and phone conversations since using Elluminate Live...I'll see you online Tuesday....
