Elluminate Upgrade to Version 9.6

Elluminate recently released a new version of Elluminate (version 9.6). We were using Elluminate 9.1 until the end of the fall 2009 semester. Elluminate 9.6 has several new features and we upgraded our servers to Elluminate 9.6 in December 2009. This upgrade will not affect your existing sessions, session links, Elluminate moderators login url, Blackboard integration, user records, and past recordings. The user interface will also remain the same with a few additional buttons and menu items that refer to the new features.

The only change you will notice is that when you and your students log in to a session after we have completed the upgrade, you will experience an increase in the time taken to download the software for Elluminate. This should not take long. However, if your students will be connecting by dial-up (slower Internet connection), they should be advised to log in early for the first session after the upgrade. Also, after the Elluminate session window opens you will notice a few interface changes which are mostly aesthetic. Click
