What Is Adobe Connect?
Adobe Connect is a product that allows you to attend and/or present online meetings. In an online Adobe Connect meeting, a presenter can show a document, write on a whiteboard, or demonstrate anything they like from their computer, while participants listen to the presenter's explanations. Participants can use a headset to talk during the meeting via the internet, type “chat” messages, download files, and participate in polls.
Practical Uses
- Online instructors can use the application sharing feature to perform an online course orientation or view and discuss lessons, projects, web resources, or group assignments
- Student groups can present project results
