By default all collaboration is realtime where you can see in what your collaborators are doing. Thanks for the mention.

]]> Comment on Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro by Trip Kirkpatrick http://clc.yale.edu/2009/10/26/adobe-acrobat-connect-pro/#comment-329 Trip Kirkpatrick Mon, 26 Oct 2009 21:31:37 +0000 http://clc.yale.edu/?p=1802#comment-329 Someone at the session asked about exporting AACP recordings, and I have found a trio of ways to do that. **** Method #1: HTTP Prerequisites: 1) The exporting user has to be an admin within AACP. 2) The user has to be logged in (otherwise, how would the program know it is an admin?) Under those circumstances, you can go to the URI of the recording (http://example.com/l60709829/) but with a specific string appended to the end: /output/recording.zip?download=zip Caveat: I did this with a couple of sessions and was unsatisfied with the results. **** Method #2: Admin Feature Prerequisites: 1) The exporting user has to be an admin within AACP. 2) The user has to be logged in (otherwise, how would the program know it is an admin?) If you are able to log in as an admin, you can go to a meeting room, select a recording and hit a button marked "Make Offline". This should start a pseudo-screen capture process to pull down the meeting. Note that I have not tried this one yet, but I'll report back when I do. **** Method #3: 3rd Party Hardware A user in a Connect users forum pointed me to the succinctly named Pinnacle 82410110301 Video Transfer USB Capture Device (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5071804&CatId=1428) as a non-AACP option. Plug video into this little device, plug the little device into a USB-enabled hard drive (or computer) and away you go. Caveat: Similar to immediately preceding -- haven't tried it yet -- but with the addition that I don't know if I will get to it. Someone at the session asked about exporting AACP recordings, and I have found a trio of ways to do that.

Method #1: HTTP

Prerequisites:
1) The exporting user has to be an admin within AACP.
2) The user has to be logged in (otherwise, how would the program know it is an admin?)

Under those circumstances, you can go to the URI of the recording (example.com/l60709829/) but with a specific string appended to the end: /output/recording.zip?download=zip

Caveat: I did this with a couple of sessions and was unsatisfied with the results.

Method #2: Admin Feature

You have a very distinctive writing style. A lot of people don't have that touch, they just drone on and on in the most boring way. But not you - thanks! Thanks again!

I see the possibilities of instant feedback and necessary explanation of a particular lesson. In my learning environment, we are making use of this feature as a choice not a requirement. The benefits is students are provided an opportunity to interact with the instructor and peers. However, the downside is students may not participate or be available during the designated time for the course.

In the current incarnation, instructors are using Elluminate for office hours, but the two applications have not been used in the same instance. For the Nahuatl distance program, we are making use of Elluminate for some functionalities and Skype video conferencing for others, but we continue to use both. Clarifications:
