Project pageNEW FEATURES ENHANCE USABILITY, INTERACTION AND COLLABORATION
Working towards Elluminate's No User Left Behind goal, the new release provides comprehensive ADA 508C compliance, and has incorporated several features that make the product easier to use and more functional for both corporate and academic meetings or classes. Elluminate Live! 7.0's user interface has improved, giving attendees higher resolution on presentation files and moderators the ability to import animated files. The new features highlighted below provide many benefits:
• Industry best cross-platform support. Continuing the tradition of supporting multiple platforms, Elluminate Live! 7.0 now supports native look and feel for both the Windows and Macintosh platforms. In addition, this release has now been tested and certified to work with Red Hat Linux as well as Novell SUSE Linux.
• File transfer. Users in live sessions can transfer and receive all types of files—including audio, video, and PowerPoint, among others—and save them to their computers. In playback mode for archived sessions, users are prompted to accept files at the point at which they were transferred during the live session.
• Social networking. Each participant can now create user profiles, either by importing information and images from a vCard, or by entering information manually. Participants in a live classroom as well as those watching the archived session can get information on who else is in the session, fostering communications between group members during and after the meeting. The moderator can choose to keep this information public or private, depending on the nature of the session.
• Enhanced interaction. Multiple users can now speak at the same time, allowing for easy interaction. The product also enables speaker panels, which gives users the ability to easily transition between speakers.
• Enhanced accessibility. Keyboard shortcuts and mnemonics permit easy navigation without the use of a mouse. Accelerator keys can be used for emoticons, polling features, hand-raising (to ask a question), and text messaging. Closed Captioning now provides an easy way to save the text transcript of the session.
• Increased scalability. Elluminate Live! 7.0 can be used in a hosted environment or through the use of Elluminate's Server software. The Server software now supports 16 or more processors, with a maximum benchmarked simultaneous user number of 10,000.
• New toolbar. By using a mini-controller toolbar within the session, moderators can share files and entire desktops with the click of a single button.
• Organizational tools. In addition, breakout rooms, a popular feature on previous versions of Elluminate Live! can now be managed and renamed by group, allowing the moderator to be more organized with small groups in a class or meeting.
