The software tool we will use to conduct the webinars, online sessions, meetings, and discussions is Adobe Connect. Using Adobe Connect Professional, you can communicate directly through your computer! It’s a bit like holding a video conference at your workstation, with added features and tools.

• Hold online, real time discussions forums that colleagues can attend from any computer at any time – great for minimising distance. • Conduct question & answer activities. • Display and share content such power point presentations directly from your desktop. • Use a whiteboard for brainstorming and demonstration. • Record sessions for content review after meetings are finished.
