Elluminate
Elluminate is a collaborative synchronous online meeting place utilizing a rich Web communication system that lets you reach your audience anytime, anywhere with engaging multimedia content. Elluminate can be used with a combination of voice, video, text and desktop sharing which presents a robust environment for online learning, meetings, training courses and on-demand presentations.
There are two ways to create/manage meetings in Elluminate.
1) If you are an instructor using D2L, you can create Online Rooms for your class and students. For more information go to http://help.d2l.arizona.edu/instructors/online_rooms
2) Anyone with a UANetID can create and manage Elluminate Live meetings/sessions.
(For classes, we recommend you create a single meeting space with a single start and end date for the duration of the semester and reuse the url, rather than create a new url for each meeting)
