METNET Connect Services

Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro enables users to create and participate in online meetings, seminars, and class sessions from their desktop computers. Connect presentations are viewable on any platform (PC, Mac, UNIX, Linux, etc.), and a web browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Firefox) that can support the Adobe Flash 8 player. During an online meeting, presenters in a meeting can display content such as graphics and presentations, broadcast audio and video, interact using chat and whiteboard tools and gather real-time feedback with polls. 

Adobe Presenter is an extension of Adobe Connect.  Personalize PowerPoint presentations with your own recorded narration and integrate them with a Connect meeting or web conference using a standard web browser. Users create Adobe Presenter presentations with PowerPoint and the Presenter plug-in and do not need to know how to use Adobe Flash or ActionScript. They can record and edit audio narrations for each slide or animation, create quizzes or self-tests, and embed Flash animations and video directly into the presentation. When completed, the presentation is converted into Flash. Presentations may be published to the Connect server and integrated with Adobe Connect Pro for use in Connect meetings. They can be made available on demand via a simple URL. Adobe Presenter presentations can also be downloaded to a desktop PC and uploaded to another Web server or burned to a CD-ROM.
