Does Adobe Connect interface with Blackboard?
Adobe Connect does not interface seamlessly with Blackboard, but it is possible to use Blackboard’s external link option to add links to Adobe Connect meetings that students and instructors can access from Blackboard. To add a link to an Adobe Connect meeting to a Blackboard course site, an instructor or TA in the Blackboard site must have the URL of an existing meeting.
The Adobe Connect meeting must be created, using the “Create: New Meeting” link on your Connect home page. When entering the meeting information, be sure to set the meeting start time far enough in the future that it will not disappear before you are done with it. If you plan, for example, to meet regularly in Adobe Connect throughout the semester, you should set the start time to a date after the end of the semester. This will enable you to create a persistent meeting that can contain course-relevant content throughout the duration of the course.
Meeting access can be restricted to registered users and accepted guests or opened to anybody who has the meeting URL. Until a member of the Case community signs into Adobe Connect, they cannot be added to a meeting as a registered user, so you may find it useful to leave access open until everybody in the course has signed into Adobe Connect and then accessed the meeting.
Tips:
- When creating your Adobe Connect meeting, you can specify a custom URL for your meeting room that can correspond to your Blackboard course name or ID if you choose.
- You can set the language of the room to German, English (the default), Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Korean.
- It is helpful, but not necessary, for the course instructor to also be the meeting host.
