Remote-Learner Integrates Moodle and Elluminate
Remote-Learner.net and Elluminate, Inc. of Calgary Canada have announced an integration between the two programs. Course creators can now add a live meeting into their courses entirely from within Moodle, just like any other activity from the Add an activiy list. Meetings can be scheduled with moderators and participants and optionally assigned a grade value for attendance. Login to Elluminate is passed through automatically (no second sign-on) and there is a new side block that lists recorded sessions. Scheduled events appear on Moodle's calendar block showing time and date of the event. Clients who are hosting their own Elluminate sites can take advantage of this integration immediately, while users hosting with Elluminate should be able to use the new feature in the first quarter of 2007. Remote-Learner is offering support services for the adaptor, including integration with its Virtual School SMS extension (see story below) that allows for setting up counseling and tutoring sessions in Elluminate.
