“Connect”ing with Polycom
Adobe Connect is a great solution for web conferencing that maintains a presence for the presenter and their content. Admittedly, Connect was designed for the presenter to be sitting at a desk using a webcam, not in front of a room full of people.

Animal Sciences: Getting Connected with Adobe Connect
Today we saw what the back end, and front end for that matter, of Adobe Connect will look like for our instructors, contributors, and students. It is really exciting.
I’m currently more involved with the front end for our Animal Sciences 694 class, and haven’t had to help facilitate for the back end. So it was …Read more at the full article: Animal Sciences: Getting Connected with Adobe Connect
