Adobe Connect and Masters research

The introduction and adoption of the Adobe Connect and Adobe Presenter technologies into Massey University is something I am exceptionally proud of achieving.

I decided to focus my research report for my Master of Education on the use of Adobe Connect and Adobe Presenter at Massey University. Particularly, I focussed on the staff (but mostly student) perceptions of synchronous and asynchronous tools. The research was a great experience to get a lot of feedback about student perceptions and preferences, and only deepened my belief that my introduction of these two technologies into the University significantly improved teaching delivery by those staff that decided to embrace the technologies.

In 2010, I was a Keynote speaker presenting on Massey's use of Adobe Connect and my research at the LearnX Conference in Sydney, Australia. - Click here for a PDF of my presentation

Here are some additional multimedia presentations that I developed related to Adobe Connect and Adobe Presenter:

• An animation (created using Adobe Captivate) that guided staff through the process of how to publish presentations to the Adobe Connect server at Massey University - Click here to view the presentation
• An Adobe Presenter presentation (containing audio of me talking) where I explain the difference between Adobe Presenter and Adobe Connect - Click here to view the presentation
• An animation (created using Adobe Captivate) that was designed to be played within an Adobe Connect meeting when participants first arrived in the meeting - Click here to view the presentation
• A multimedia presentation formatted as a PDF (Adobe Reader is needed to view this PDF and the animations embedded within it) giving tips when using Adobe Connect - Click here for the PDF
