By the second week of February, we plan to have a lighter parallel (additional) version of Elluminate called Elluminate Lite available to faculty and students in addition to the current system. While the current system has a 100 concurrent user license, the Elluminate Lite service will have a 500 concurrent user license. This would enable us to create larger classes and create some virtual office spaces for faculty that really need them. While we would still require that you schedule times in Elluminate Lite in much the same way you do with the 100-license Elluminate Academic system, we could be more flexible with the amount of time scheduled (such as requesting every Wednesday to be office hours from 1PM to 4PM for 10 participants, for example), as we have more seats available in the Lite environment.
It is important to note, however that Elluminate Lite does not have all the features of Elluminate’s Academic Edition. Some prominent features that are missing include: Application Sharing, Video Chat, Recording, and Breakout Rooms. For a comparision of Elluminate Academic and Elluminate Lite, please go to http://www.elluminate.com/product_comparison.jsp to evaluate them side by side. When Elluminate Lite is functional, we will inform you via email. The form to request Elluminate Lite sessions will also be provided to you. Also, note that both systems will be available to you.
If you have any questions about Elluminate Lite, please email us at: elluminate@lists.acomp.usf.edu
