Adobe Connect

Features

Simple one-way synchronization from LMS to Adobe Connect. It creates the course room the first time a course user accesses, as well as the user-room assignment and the user itself.

There are two capabilities, one for Adobe Connect “host” role, usually a teacher, and another for Adobe Connect “view” role.

The block uses the Adobe Connect web services to create rooms, create users, assigns users to rooms and login users into Adobe Connect from LMS, in order to do that, Adobe Connect administrator credentials must be configured on the block settings page.

The Adobe Connect rooms names are the LMS course id, and the users are created with the LMS email as Adobe Connect username and the username in md5 as the password.
