Webinar Guidelines
The following guidelines are provided to help RIT Faculty and Staff planning a non-credit Connect webinar event through the Adobe Connect web conferencing server.
A non-credit Connect webinar event is defined as an event in which the audience does not consist of RIT students working to obtain credit for coursework.
To be Trained on Using Adobe Connect:
Please use the following link to set up a consultation on using Adobe Connect, or for questions related to your webinar:
Prior to your consultation, review the following resources and Adobe Connect materials:
- Adobe Connect Documentation
- Adobe Connect Quickstart Guide
To Arrange for Real-Time Captioning:
Several external providers can provide real-time captioning, for a fee based on the duration of the meeting. Contact Academic Technology Support for more information.
To Use the High-Capacity "Seminar Room":
In order to ensure the success of academic events on the Connect server, a separate seminar license is available to non-credit users. The Seminar Room has a capacity of 250 users.
There is no charge for the use of the Seminar Room, but only one group may use it at a time.
Contact Jeremiah Parry-Hill to reserve meeting times on the Seminar Room license.
To Integrate a Phone Conference with a Connect Meeting:
An external third-party provider (PGi) can integrate a phone conference with a Connect meeting, with two-way audio between both.
