Quickstart Guide 

Using Adobe Connect

Before deciding to use Adobe Connect, consider your desired end result. It is always important to put your course strategies first, and select the course tool to help carry out those strategies second. You may find that certain objectives are more effectively carried out using another method of instruction (e.g. asynchronous discussion).

Adobe Connect requires that you dedicate time to plan and design learning activities, and will also require some student preparation. Allow yourself time to prepare and practice with the technology, and give your students time to do the same.
