Overview
Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro is a service provided to MSU faculty and staff members that includes, among others, the capability of converting PowerPoint presentations into Flash movies that can be viewed using a Flash-enabled web browser. These presentations can be uploaded into ANGEL or any SCORM compliant course management system and can include audio, video and animation.MSU's Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro system does not host Breeze presentations, but rather allows their creation and export for use with a course management system.
NOTE: In August, 2008, the service was upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro Server, v7. This version constitutes a major upgrade and adds numerous new features. The initial user interface displayed upon log in has also changed. For more information please refer to help.breeze.msu.edu .
