Illuminating Your Life

I was invited to join a classroom that teaches with Illuminate and I refused. But my daughters joined the class, and ever since she is online to attend the lecture live. This was the first time I heard of Illuminate software.

Illuminate is a web conferencing tool used for interactions with faculty and students miles away or even oceans apart. Education is becoming a universal access, personalized learning, and a global classroom, said by a teacher. Michael Haworth a teacher in Fraser Valley Distance School said that we need the applications that run in multiple environments. He was trying to find a way to reach to the students who have a limited contact with teachers via mail, email or phone in distant learning classes. He was trying to synchronize learning the reaching and learning opportunities by Illuminate.










Why is Illuminate the One for All:
  • It improves the student’s outreach, satisfaction, and retention
  • It provides affordable professional development of the faculty and staff.
  • It improves strategic planning and decision making
  • It leverages limited teaching resources.
  • It extends reach and enhances competitive advantages
