Adobe Connect Pro

Adobe Connect Pro is the online Web conferencing system used to connect faculty, staff, and learners at a distance. "Connect" allows the use of Web cameras via the Internet to see each other, share presentations, files, and much more.  While audio may also be shared/used with Connect, more than a few people in the same conference room typically use a traditional audio conference number to ensure better quality audio.

Faculty may request their own Adobe Connect Pro conference account (and room) by submitting the Adobe Connect Account and Room Request Form. This form must be submitted from either an on-campus computer, by using Internet Explorer in Citrix, or they may have their Academic program submit the form for them.  The address of their faculty room will be http://tui.acrobat.com/facultylastname or it may also have their first initial.  For example, Joe Faculty's room is http://tui.acrobat.com/facultyj
