Comments from those who selected Adobe Connect as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2009
- We acquired Adobe Connect in our Institute for live online classes. However, it is so easy to use, I can can use it for online meetings with people who have never used it before. Brian Mulligan</li>
- I could have picked any from the range of Adobe Flash-based content development tools, but I chose this application because of its multi-functionality, and because it manifests what Flash, Presenter, Dreamweaver etc can do. Enables collaboration, content storage, management, distribution, and (a certain degree of) tracking. A powerful content delivery platform to enable learning professionals and organisations distribute informational and training content effectively. Michael Hanley
