Which tool do you use?

Communication Tools helps you figure out if you want to use Site Builder, Collaborative Tools or...what? Access, privacy, membership, administration, document handling and sustainability are just some of the considerations when choosing the right communication tool.

Adobe Connect

Adobe Connect delivers high-impact online communications that everyone can access instantly. Connect lets users easily share engaging multimedia communications in real-time meetings or through narrated on-demand presentations that can be viewed anytime. And, because content is created using familiar office productivity tools, anyone can use Connect to communicate more effectively over the web.

Why should I use Adobe Connect? You can save a lot of travel time and expense. Adobe Connect is free to use for ANR staff and faculty and has proven to be remarkably reliable.  Anyone can participate in a Adobe Connect meeting. Only the Host needs to be part of the Adobe Connect system to setup a meeting. You can invite anyone with a computer and Internet connection to join you. The only software needed is a browser.

The UCD Adobe Connect Enterprise Server supports Adobe Connect meetings, presentations, and training. The events and seminar features are not part of the UCD Adobe Connect system.

To learn more about ANR's use of Adobe Connect check out Mike's Adobe Connect Blog.

Contact: Mike Poe, (530) 754-3905, mlpoe@ucdavis.edu to be added to the Adobe Connect system if you joined ANR after October 2009.
