Recordings Currently in Adobe Connect

You need to determine which recordings you want to keep and download those items out of Adobe Connect by 11:59 PM Eastern on June 30, 2020.

Instructions:

• To keep a recording for use in a future class:
  • Download the recording from Adobe Connect.
  • Upload the mp4 to the Ensemble video server. 
  • Update your myCourses content to include the new Ensemble links in summer and/or fall courses.

• To keep something for historical reference (e.g. research, portfolio) but not course use:
  • Download the recording from Adobe Connect.
  • Determine where to store the recording now (e.g. your computer, YouTube).

• If you no longer need a recording, delete it from Adobe Connect.
  
  
• If you do not own the recording you use, contact the owner of the recording to coordinate future use of that recording. If you don't know the owner or the owner no longer works at RIT, contact Academic Technology Support.

Conducting Synchronous Meetings Going Forward

All synchronous meetings should now be conducted in Zoom. The last day to conduct a synchronous meeting using Adobe Connect is June 30, 2020. However, we recommend that you do not schedule any new meetings in Adobe Connect after May 8, 2020 to provide you time for downloading your recordings and to prevent switching tools mid-semester. 

Also update your summer and/or fall courses to change any links and instructions for synchronous meetings to Zoom.

To learn about using Zoom, we recommend the following resources:

• Zoom Tutorials and Help Center
• ILI Zoom FAQ 

Creating Pre-recorded Video Going Forward

If you used Adobe Connect to create pre-recorded video lectures, you should now use Camtasia for recording and editing videos, and the Ensemble video server for hosting videos.

To learn about using these tools, we recommend the following resources:

• How to access Camtasia and the general process for creating video
• Camtasia Tutorials Collection
• How to add a video to Ensemble

If you have questions or run into any issues with this process, please contact Academic Technology Support.
