[Using Sakai] Advice on Elluminate Implementation

[Mary Jane Palm]

The University of Rhode Island is currently piloting Elluminate and Wimba (started prior to the Blackboard Collaborate purchases).

Have any other schools successfully integrated either Elluminate or Wimba with a 'multiple instance' Sakai installation?

We are currently running Sakai 2.6 and run 7 instances.

Thanks!
