ElluminateLive! (eLive) has been selected as the synchronous communications tool for Deakin University. It aims to enhance both on- and off-campus learning as it facilitates communication and collaboration between staff and students.

eLive is a real-time training, demonstration and collaboration environment that is powerful, flexible and easy to use. It enables the delivery of live, online learning, training, coaching, mentoring and meetings.

It allows for:

talking over the Internet
chatting via text online
sharing applications, videos and presentations
streaming multimedia files.

Some ideas how to use eLive in teaching:

introduce students to each other - especially off-campus students. Hearing the sound of a voice can help people to get to know and trust each other much quicker than with text communication
quickly sort out administrative matters such as group membership, roles, task requirements and project timetables
run tutorials for students on other campuses, or for off-campus students
encourage students to participate, eg negotiate outcomes, methods, contribute opinions, mentor each other
give students a safe environment in which to collaborate and practise presenting
present guest speakers and have students ask them questions
run role plays and debates
include auditory and visual presentations or activities to engage learners who prefer those styles
record sessions for students to revise or for those who miss sessions
brief students on assignment requirements
revise a unit and provide pre-exam advice (recorded sessions can be made available in future semesters)
run meetings with staff, administrators or students in other campuses.

Creating an eLive session

eLive participants can either be moderators or participants. Normally, Deakin staff will be moderators and students will be participants. However, there may be times when you will need to make your students moderators in an eLive session. An example of why you might do this is so students can upload PowerPoint presentations and record sessions.

The role you want students to play in an eLive session will affect how you create that session. Students cannot create an eLive session.
