Abstract
Elluminate a web interactive multimedia technology (WIMT), which is an information and communication system, was introduced in a large metropolitan University. Its attributes are outlined in this paper, from just text-based to more complex-based features. The system incorporates several multimedia features, such as chat, audio, video, polling, whiteboard and desktop sharing. This system provides real time collaboration. When used in a university teaching and learning environment, it enables immediate feedback between participants across physical space. This gives an added opportunity for interactivity in an online learning environment. Relationship building capacity between academic and student is a vital component of learning. WIMT enables augment learning through interaction between academic and student.
