Indiana University's Connect Meeting Service
Indiana University offers Connect (formerly Breeze) Meeting to faculty and staff who want to use Web collaboration in their administrative meetings and academic classes. Web collaboration (also called data collaboration or Web conferencing) provides you with a virtual meeting/classroom environment for sharing your presentations, images, and desktop applications with remote participants. With Connect, you can also take advantage of features like a digital whiteboard, text chat, polling, and audio/video broadcasting. To attend your Web meeting, your participants need only a Web browser with the Flash plugin (almost all computers have this already) and a broadband Internet connection.
Note: Connect is a Web collaboration tool distributed by Adobe. When IU originally purchased the software, it was owned by Macromedia, who named the product Breeze. In 2005, Adobe bought Macromedia and soon after changed the name of the product from Breeze to Adobe Acrobat Connect Professional. You're likely to hear it called Breeze and Connect interchangeably.
