Adobe Connect

The upcoming release of Adobe Connect will be available this summer and adds support to the HTML client for PowerPoint, PDF, Video, Audio, custom apps and much more.

We couldn’t be more pleased to announce the next major release of Adobe Connect – version 10.0. Adobe Connect 10 is a significant milestone for us and includes features that we’re incredibly excited to bring to our customers including an entirely new HTML client, scalable HD video, out of the box single sign on (SSO), UI Improvements, and much more.

It gives me great pleasure to show you the second part of our strategy – a new HTML client that runs in any modern browser without the need for Flash Player or other plug-ins. While we’re not announcing any specific product release today, we couldn’t wait any longer to show you what we’ve been working on.

When it began offering Executive MBA (EMBA) courses online in 2004, Saint Mary’s College of California became a pioneer of virtual education. The program gave working professionals a combination of convenience and in-person interaction by blending virtual and in-classroom learning. Saint Mary’s award-winning EMBA program has since become a model for other institutions.Recently, the liberal arts college implemented Adobe Connect as its preferred online conferencing platform.

While other solutions could only support concurrent events in French or English, with Adobe Connect CFHI can seamlessly deliver bilingual events using breakout rooms where participants can view primary content in their preferred language. The approach keeps audiences integrated and benefits them by sharing in one common digital experience.

The new Adobe Connect Central homepage redesign not only provides a more accessible view of the content (Flash is no longer required on the homepage), but provides additional opportunities to filter and find your Adobe Connect meetings and learning content.

By finding more ways to deliver courses electronically, the University of Arizona (UA) broadens the reach of its educational opportunities. The UA currently offers nearly 70 undergraduate and graduate degree and certificate programs and its learning management system (LMS) holds more than 4,300 courses (15% of its total catalog) used by the university’s 19 colleges.

During a recent webinar hosted by Adobe, Cindy Huggett – CPLP, an expert on virtual training and author of “The Virtual Training Guidebook: How to Design, Deliver, and Implement Live Online Learning”, we shared the importance of ready to use activities within virtual sessions and key tips on how to implement them so to maximize engagement.

It’s always fascinated me how many people show up early for a webinar. Schedule an event for 2pm and some people will start arriving at 1:30pm while others join exactly at the top of the hour.

I know that many of you are eager to update your iPhones and iPads to the new iOS 9 operating system – there are some significant and appealing enhancements.
