Adobe Connect is a web-based communications tool that allows users to meet, share and collaborate virtually from their desktops. One of the advantages of this system is that there are few technical requirements to use the tool. All you need is a standard web browser and speakers. (A web camera and microphone are optional.) A PC or Mac computer can be used to access the virtual meeting.

Please Note: ICIT piloted the Adobe Connect Pro software with a small number of classes and administrative users during the 2008-2009 academic year. We are now extending the availability of this licensed tool to a limited number of new users. See below to get started.

How do I get started?

• Contact one of our License Administrators listed below.
• A License Administrator will provide you with a user account for Adobe Connect.
  
• An online meeting room will be assigned for your use, whether it's to hold your class meetings or for some other purpose.
• As a faculty member or instructor, you will serve as the meeting Host. Students will be termed Participants.
• You will receive an e-mail providing you with login information and your meeting URL. This URL is all you need to share with your meeting participants in order for them to join the meeting. Your meeting URL will remain the same throughout the course of the semester.

What if the majority of my students are on campus in a traditional classroom and only a few of my students will be using Adobe Connect?

If the majority of your class will meet face to face on campus and you only have a few students who will be participants through Adobe Connect, you may be interested in teaching your course from one of our two videoconferencing facilities.  A larger facility, seating 40, is located at the 79th Street School of Social Work campus and a smaller, 22 seat room is on the C level of the North building at the 68th Street campus. Choose the size of facility that is right for your class. Teaching your course from one of these locations allows for large screen displays and audio interactivity between you, your remote and on-campus students while our trained technical support staff is on-hand to assist you. If you are interested in scheduling your course in one of these facilities, contact us at (212) 452-7108 or email vctc@hunter.cuny.edu.
