HEAnet is investigating the provision of a national web conferencing service which will deliver a cost effective on-line/live eLearning, education, training, communities and meetings etc. It is running a 6-month national pilot project with Elluminate and is asking for educational institutions to register their interest in participating. Without your participation HEAnet will struggle to achieve this unified service and the substantial savings, increased efficiencies and learning outcomes that can be achieved by working as a single entity.
