Elluminate & Webinar Materials


What is Elluminate?

The TACE Region IV understands that the success of webinars depends on the usability (ease-of -use) and usefulness (functionality and productivity) of the technology. In an effort to ensure an accessible and positive online experience to everyone, we began using a new system in May 2010 — Elluminate, which features:

  • Cross platform. Get same user experience whether using a Windows, Mac, etc.
  • Optimized for low bandwidth. Interact with no lag time or garbled communication, regardless of Internet connection speed.
  • Designed to enable all users to fully participate. Various features and functionality promote accessibility i.e., keyboard access to menus and dialogs, closed captioning, enlarged video, user-defined color, screenreader compatibility, and more.

Connecting to the Webinar


What You Need :

  • Computer with an Internet connection
  • Speakers

IMPORTANT - Before the Webinar:

  • To ensure successful webinar participation, especially if this is your first time using Elluminate:
    • You may be prompted to download software, which may take from 2-20 minutes depending upon your Internet connection speed.
    • Review Elluminate Support.
    • If using an assistive technology device (i.e. JAWS), download the JAVA Accessibility Bridge.

Note: Contact your Network Administrator if you have problems with installing an option to connect to the webinar. Again, it is imperative that you complete this step before the webinar.

Set-up of Webinar System & Multiple Participants

When you set-up the webinar system, especially if a location ("site") has multiple participants, show the webinar using one computer and an LCD projector, and also designate one individual to enter any comments and questions in the text chat area of the webinar system.

Captioning (Real Time) for Webinar

On the day of the webinar, a captioner transcribes the webinar information as it occurs (real time). No special equipment or software is needed; the within Elluminate, the captioning window will display and can be "turned on" (or "off").
