Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro 7 for districts and schools
"Rural counties are now connected with larger school districts and learning things that they previously could not have. Thanks to Acrobat Connect Professional, we have a strong online mentor group."
Michael Sweeney, Senior training specialist, Florida Center for Instructional TechnologyProvide web conferencing, live online training, professional development and virtual classes across your entire district with Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro software. Now staff, teachers, students, and even parents can communicate, collaborate, and learn in an interactive online environment, accessible virtually anytime by anyone.
Acrobat Connect Pro dramatically extends the ability for schools to provide synchronous teaching and learning, interactive presentations, and discussion capabilities. Live sessions can be recorded and stored for playback and reviewed at more convenient times. This means participants who cannot attend meetings, classes, or seminars still have access to the session. Moreover, because Acrobat Connect Pro is deployed using Adobe Flash Player, which is already installed on 97% of Internet-connected desktops, it is easy to participate in real-time sessions. This means participants already have everything they need to instantly access Acrobat Connect Pro.
