Massey University has officially announced this week the purchase and rollout of a number of Adobe Products.

Inline with Massey Universities 2020 strategy for teaching and learning, Mark Brown Director of Distance Education has announced the expansion of their electronic tool set to include:

• Acrobat Pro
• Adobe Presenter
• Adobe Connect

Acrobat Pro will enable them to enhance their accessibility, usability and quality of some of their online material. Presenter amplifies the teachers voice and provides a more engaging interaction with subject content online, and Connect will connect (pardon the pun) teachers with their students, including regular online tutorials, consultations with small groups, and offshore distance delivery.

webqem looks forward to hearing the creative uses of these tools throughout the University.

Adobe Connect Meeting is giving students greater opportunities at Massey University Library to access research consultations with subject librarians.

One hour face-to-face appointments, normally required for this process, had often proved difficult in the past. Connect Meeting means that these can now be done virtually, freeing up travel time for all involved.

The ability to screen share during a Connect Meeting has enabled library staff to operate software on student’s computers remotely if required.
