Putting together a training course is no small feat. It can take weeks of work to develop content, takeaways and assignments for just one course. After putting in so much work, determining how effective your online training was shouldn't be difficult, and thankfully it's easy with Adobe Connect!

Follow our 3 simple steps to see if your online training course is effective. 

It takes more than great content, new technology, and dynamic speakers to engage online learners. It is important to recognize that getting learners motivated, engaged and energized is what ultimately makes for a successful eLearning (or online training) session. It’s about providing learners a reason to want to learn.

If you lived in a bigger city or suburb while in school you probably experienced the best teachers and a magnitude of interesting subjects. If you grew up in a rural area, for example, the likelihood of being exposed to those elective courses are slim.

I grew up in small-town Illinois and graduated with a class of 200. The only option we had for electives was cooking 101, and our language options consisted of just German and Spanish. Having known such limited options, I am proud to share that with Adobe Connect, companies around the world are utilizing this powerful tool to bring educational experiences to anyone with a computer and internet access. 

Proximity Learning is one of those companies that is bringing certified and quality teachers into classrooms around 30 states in the United States. Their mission is to ensure every student has access to a "live" teacher no matter their location. With Proximity Learning schools never have to worry about overcrowding, canceling classes, or placing an unqualified educator in front of students again! Additionally, students have access to American Sign Language, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese and so much more. 

Adobe Connect is the premium web conferencing platform on the market, and you probably already know that you can use it for web meetings, eLearning courses and webinars. 

But have you thought about how else you can use Adobe Connect? The use cases are endless! This month MeetingOne is offering an exclusive yoga class available to anyone who registers on July 20th at 5:30 pm Mountain Time. At MeetingOne, we provide a variety of interesting webinars that allow participants an opportunity to learn more about running effective meetings, eliminating digital distractions, and the like. 

But with this yoga class, we aim to make a positive impact for those who use web conferencing. And help the people who make our business possible, flourish and lead lives infused with strength, health, purpose, and creativity.

Many businesses are now asking themselves if they should make the switch from traditional Public Switched Telephone Networks (PSTNs) for cheaper Voice Over IP (VoIP) alternatives. When considering a switch, you need to consider what the priorities are for your audio conferencing service and what the impact of changing to an internet based service could mean.  

We've recently partnered with IMPART! Curriculum Design and Delivery to learn their groundbreaking learning theories and incorporate them into our own webinar program. Through working with Dan Streeter, founder of IMPART!, we knew we were on to something special: a new way to deliver online learning experiences that resonates with participants and changes behavior.

What is a breakout room?

Breakout rooms are multiple sub-rooms within an Adobe Connect meeting where a host can assign participants to select rooms. Breakout rooms are useful when splitting up a large group into segmented smaller groups, helping to drive discussion and brainstorming to achieve the goal or objective of the online session. 

Examples of why you would use a breakout room: Interviews, focus groups, discussion topics, workshop training, and group projects. 

 Everyone knows that web conferencing is used for screen sharing - but wouldn't it be great to have a more interactive online experience with people in your company and beyond and located around the world? Adobe Connect is a powerful tool that we are proud to provide and also use ourselves for our marketing and online training webinars to reach those near and far. 

Take a look at our recent Adobe Connect series that covers how to put together powerful layouts, create registered events and brand your Adobe Connect for a unique participant experience. Each topic has a webinar recording and a takeaway document that supplements the content discussed during our fast-paced 30-minute webinars. Review each module below and you'll be sure to impress participants during your next team meeting, sales demo, marketing webinar or training session with your newfound Adobe Connect skills. 

 During every web meeting, you will undoubtedly hear, "Can you see my screen?".  I cringe every time I hear this. 

Imagine never having to ask or answer this question again! Heaven. 

Being in the conferencing industry, I know many people who have the ability to work anywhere and everywhere (including myself!). As long as WiFi is available, it is easily manageable to complete everyday tasks. But an internet connection doesn't necessarily mean we get our work done efficiently or at all. Sometimes being disconnected from the team is a huge hindrance, and when you need to collaborate to move a project forward, communicating remotely can get messy without the proper process and tools in place.  

To help make it easier for those who have flexible work schedules, there are many new tools that help get the job done. Take a look at the below 13 tools for greater organization, management & communication that we've compiled based on the Inbound.org discussion boards for those who work from home!
