Adobe Connect for Web conferencing now available from the Tech Store
Friday, November 06, 2009Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro licenses are now available from the DoIT Tech Store. Adobe Connect is a high-end, feature-rich conference and distance education tool that provides conferencing features such as the ability to deliver PowerPoint presentations, conduct two-way interaction with others using a Webcam, and carry on chat sessions. It enables instructors to conduct classes or discussions and hold office hours online. Researchers and administrators can meet with colleagues, donors, and job applicants in private "meeting rooms," saving on travel expenses.

For researchers and administrative staff, Adobe Connect will cost $140 for an annual license (the cost is prorated monthly through June 30 of each year).
