Facilitating quality meetings over the Internet can often be
a challenge. For our CEP 812 project we decided to use an Adobe connect
session. It was a great experience that provided us with almost every tool that
we could want to use. We took advantage of a notes tool, a document uploading
tool, and the general chat features.
There were a great deal of other tools that we could have
used during our chat. The screen sharing and polling feature would have allowed
us to go more in depth when we shared our thoughts. Polling would have proved
to be especially helpful. At times, it
seemed as if there was significant delay when trying to talk with a microphone.
When asking the group to come to a consensus it would have been wise for us to
use this tool.
Ultimately, the great deal of tools that you can use within
Adobe Connect sessions are both its strength and its weakness. As a user you
can create a wonderful collaborative environment that allows you share a
variety of media. This same strength, however, can lead to feeling of anxiety
for the novice user. I felt as if I wanted to use as many tools as possible
help the chat flow smoothly. This was very challenging to do because of our
lack of familiarity with the tools. Other services, like Skype and Google
Hangout, could also have been used. However, they would not have provided the
same quality of services that come with Adobe Connect.
