Schedule

=Adobe Connect (AC)=

Adobe Connect will be the interactive online web-conferencing environment where we hold our online bi-weekly meetings. I've demonstrated its basic use in the first week of class. Here is a PDF tutorial that explains the technical requirements and some commonly-used features of AC. 1. Test your speed. Go to this link to test it out. 2. You must use a headset. Using a headset will eliminate the echoes and noise coming from other participants of the online meeting.
 * Prior to our online meeting, be sure to do the following: **

You may also want to go here to test your connections and try out the features in an actual AC environment. It is a playground on Adobe Connect that I created for you to try it out as presenters. You will have presenter rights with which you can enable your audio and present without me enabling you. Note: This is NOT the online meeting link. To go to the bi-weekly meeting link, click on Online Meetings in the right navigation bar.
