color:#1F497D'>We have Eluminate on this campus and it is getting very little
use. It is not completely accessible, unfortunately, in my experience. I had
trouble with JAWS trying to navigate the myriad of boxes within the window of
the program, and there is a live chat function, posting windows, you name it.
To a sighted person, the layout is pretty confusing, much less to someone
trying to use a screen reader.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p>Good morning all!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Is anyone familiar with the product called Elluminate Learning Suite?
Our institution is considering its use as a campus-wide solution for web
conferencing and possibly more uses as well. It will be under review over
the next few week, and I want to be ready with any questions related to
accessibility. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I would greatly appreciate any wisdom or helpful hints anyone has related to
Elluminate!!<o:p></o:p></p>
