Elluminate is interesting and allows an instructor a way to make the class interactive. I think interactivity is the key to a successful on line course. The more interaction students have with the content the better. Elluminate allows for this interactivity and allows for the excitement and spontaneity of real time events. Asynchronous tools allow for reflection and flexibility but Elluminate would be good for a presentation or a question and answer or review session. I am not too familiar with using Elluminate, and it would require considerable practice and an exploratory spirit to experiment and problem-solve with its functions.
The problematic aspects are the expense, the scheduling over time zones, and the hardware or software necessary for ALL students to have an equal chance in interactivity
