Project Details

Professor Wood is using Adobe Connect for classes when weather prohibits travel to campus. In this Custom Student Support we will attend classes during the first week of the semester to introduce you to the Adobe Connect Online Rooms Found in D2L BrightSpace. Adobe Connect is a full-featured web conferencing tool that can be used on desktops, laptops, and mobile devices. It supports video and audio over the Internet, document and screen sharing, and more. It is web-based and does not require the installation of any major software application. While every student can access their own instance of Adobe Connect (see directions for Activating and Accessing Your Adobe Connect Accounts the following directions provided below are specifically for accessing Online Rooms via your D2L BrightSpace Adobe Connect Online Rooms.

Hardware/Software

D2L BrightSpace Adobe Connect Online Rooms

Before You Begin

When participating in Online Rooms you will want to make sure to take two important steps to make the experience of participating in this meeting a success.

Have a set of ear buds or headphones to separate the sound from your speakers and microphone so you do not have feedback.
Before you start using Adobe Connect, use this link Adobe Connect Diagnostic Test to make sure you have a good connection, the Flash media player, and Adobe Connect presenter app installed.

Accessing Adobe Connect Online Rooms via D2L BrightSpace

To access the class Adobe Connect room go to the course and from the Communication menu select OnLine Room. Choose the room your professor has set up for this class to meet by selecting the Join link. Make sure you click on this link one time as it is easy to enter the room twice. If this happens you will simply need to close one of the instances you launched.

Connect Audio Settings

Your professor may want you to participate with audio for the class and this requires you to launch the Audio Setup Wizard that is found within the Meeting menu. The following steps walk you through this process

Click Next to begin testing your laptop audio output.
On the Sound Output page, click Play Sound button. If you did not hear the sound sample, click Help button for more information.
After successful audio test click Next button.
On the Select Microphone page, select your microphone type from the pull‑down menu.
Click Next and on the Test Microphone page, click Record button to test your microphone.

If a dialog box appears requesting access to your camera and microphone, click Allow to allow Acrobat Connect Professional to access your camera and microphone.

After 5 seconds of recording click Record button again and then Play Recording button to see if the level of audio is appropriate.
Click Next button and on the Tune Silence Level page, click the Test Silence button. Remain silent until progress is complete. Acrobat Connect Professional sets a microphone sound level that compensates for background noise in your environment.
