TwTT Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro

Adobe® Acrobat® Connect™ Pro is the next generation of web conferencing software that enables individuals, universities, and small businesses to instantly communicate and collaborate through easy-to-use, easy-to-access online personal meeting rooms. John Graves and Trip Kirkpatrick of the Center for Language Study will demo.

Last year, the Center for Language Study (a Collaborative Learning
Center partner) was approached by the Council on Latin American and
Iberian Studies to collaborate on offering Nahuatl, an indigenous
Mesoamerican language, to Yale students but the program lacked a local
instructor. Our first means of conducting this course was a
less-than-ideal hybrid solution involving Elluminate and Skype
videoconferencing. This year, we are using Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro and
are thus far much more satisfied. In this presentation, Trip Kirkpatrick
and John Graves from the CLS will discuss AACP and its uses not just for
distance learning but also for myriad other distance participatory
experiences. You are welcome before the session to get an overview of
AACP’s features at meet-test.its.yale.edu/yale_adobe_how_to.

The CLS would like to thank the Council on Latin American and Iberian
Studies as well as Educational Technologies and the Windows Systems
group at ITS for their support in using and paying for AACP.
