Academic Markets Respond Enthusiastically to New Elluminate Products

    Back-to-school Offer Provides Additional Incentive for K-12 and Higher

Education Institutions



    FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Aug. 22 /EMWNews/ -- Elluminate, Inc., a

leading provider of live eLearning and web collaboration solutions, today

announced that the K-12 and higher education academic markets have

responded enthusiastically to its newly launched products. These include

Elluminate Next>(TM), Elluminate vOffice(TM), and Elluminate vClass(TM).



    Elluminate Next> is a bundled solution that combines Elluminate

Plan!(TM) for packaging online lesson plans and Elluminate Publish!(TM) for

creating standalone recordings or industry-standard audio files from

Elluminate Live!(R) session recordings. Elluminate Next> builds on the

success of the company's virtual classroom environment to support what

happens during the entire online instructional cycle: before, during, and

after the real-time online session.



    New Elluminate Next> customers include a wide variety of academic and

other organizations, such as Allegheny Intermediate Unit, Credenda Virtual

High School, Center for Teaching Quality, Departamento de Educacion de

Puerto Rico, Gwinnett County Public Schools, Illinois Virtual High School,

Insight Schools, K12 Inc., Ministerio de Educacion Nacional de Colombia,

Naval Postgraduate School, North Carolina State University, Pan American

Health Organization, San Jose State University, University of Calgary,

University of Florida, and many more.



    In addition, the market response has also been positive for the

company's low-cost, single-room solutions Elluminate vOffice for 5 to 20

users and Elluminate vClass for 25 to 200 participants. These products add

additional seats and record/playback functionality to the popular

Elluminate vRoom, a free, three-person virtual room. New customers include

Alliance for Distance Education in California, Baltimore County Public

Schools, Brandeis University, California State University, Christian

Children's Fund, Educational Service District 112, eLearnAustralia.com.au,

Illinois Association of School Business Officials, Illinois Principals

Association, and United Jewish Communities.



    "Our three-seat vRoom had become too small, so we made the logical

progression to Elluminate vOffice," said Chris Sutton, Managing Director of

eLearnAustralia.com.au. "The communication and collaboration are exactly

the same, if not better than face to face, with no extra overhead or

infrastructure to worry about, and I have the ability to employ the best

people, wherever they are. Plus, Elluminate is just as effective for

meeting with clients and prospects."

    Effective immediately, the company is offering two back-to-school

specials for a limited time. Elluminate Live! customers can save 20% on

    "Elluminate is thrilled to be experiencing such an overwhelming

response from the marketplace for these new products," said Maurice

Heiblum, president of Elluminate, Inc. "We believe this is validation of

our decision to expand our product line in two directions, making it simple

for anyone to deliver engaging online sessions and distribute post-session

content with Elluminate Next>, as well as to allow entry-level users to

experience the benefits of real-time web collaboration with Elluminate

vOffice and vClass."
