Elluminate Blog @ USF

After much testing, we are pleased to inform you that we have launched the 500 concurrent user Elluminate Lite service at USF (refer: http://elluminate.blog.usf.edu?p=6). The launch was postponed earlier due to technical difficulties with the installation and Elluminate Support staff helped us rectify the issue.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused due to the installation delay.

However, we now have the Elluminate Lite service available for use at USF in addition to the Elluminate Academic (200 concurrent user license – http://elluminate.blog.usf.edu/2006/11/14/hello-world) which is also fully functional and available.

Please note that Elluminate session scheduling for the fall 2007 semester is now open.

You can request sessions by following the brief 6-step process at: http://www.c21te.usf.edu/sync/requests

Also note that we now offer two types of Elluminate sessions, namely: Sessions in the full-featured Elluminate Academic and Sessions in Elluminate Lite (a lighter version of Elluminate).

You can read about Elluminate Lite and learn how it compares with Elluminate Academic by visiting:

We regret to inform you that our launch of the 500 concurrent user Elluminate Lite service at USF (refer: http://elluminate.blog.usf.edu/2007/01/25/upcoming-elluminate-lite-service-usf) is postponed. We plan to launch by the second week of March. We are experiencing technical difficulties with the installation and Elluminate Support staff are working with us to rectify the issue.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused due to this installation delay.

Please note: Elluminate Academic (100 concurrent user license – http://elluminate.blog.usf.edu/2006/11/14/hello-world) is fully functional.

It has come to our attention that whenever you use an USB Microphone, Speaker, Headset, or Webcam with Elluminate, you need to connect the USB device before you open the Elluminate program window. This way, Elluminate can detect the device and use it appropriately in the session.
