WhiteboardElluminate Live!® provides whiteboard tools that allow all users to draw or write on the whiteboard. Multiple users can interact on the whiteboard simultaneously. Moreover, the Elluminate Live! whiteboard is object oriented meaning that all objects placed on the whiteboard can be edited.

Whiteboard Moderators can import PowerPoint presentations (*.ppt), StarOffice,

OpenOffice and NeoOffice/J presentations (*.ppt, *.sxi), Image files (*.bmp, *.jpeg, *.gif., *.png, and *.tif,), Protected Whiteboard files (*.wbp) and Whiteboard files (*.wbd) onto the whiteboard.

Once imported, the presentation is available for all participants to see, and can be marked up using the Whiteboard drawing tools.

What use can you make of virtual classrooms in your

deliveries?

PowerPoint Content• Make sure the content you create is easy to see. • Keep background templates simple so that they d

on't distract from the content you want to share.  

• Avoid  gradient colors in the background. • Use a font type and size that is easy to read

(no smaller than a 12 point standard font such as Arial, Verdana or Times New Roman).   

• Use visuals whenever possible especially for complex processes or procedures. 

• Avoid slide after slide of bulleted lists. (like this ;-) )
