EST School Ready to use Elluminate Live
Scotland High School of Engineering and Skilled Trades is in position to begin using a new tool, Elluminate Live! for academic collaboration and distance education. This product claims "No User Left Behind" funtionality because a computer's platform or Internet connection speed does not affect a user's ability to communicate with others or perform specific tasks. EST is in good company by choosing to use this product. Duke University has chosen to use this format for distance education because it "enhances the online experience of its remote students." In addition, Duke chose this tool based on its versatility, stating "It's an ever-evolving world of digital media. So what is important to us is not just what a product does now, but what it will be capable of in the future."
