The Thought Industries and Adobe Connect integration provides admin and learners with a seamless virtual learning experience.

Use Case Information

Admins have the ability to create Adobe Connect webinars from within the Thought Industries platform. Learners can join from directly within your site's content. This integration allows admin to focus on delivering engaging content that encourages learner retention and satisfaction.

When configured you can control the following:

  • Set up webinars within content directly in Thought Industries. Creating the webinar in Thought Industries will create a meeting in Adobe Connect.
  • Webinar administrators will launch the event from within Adobe, however, all learner activity will happen on Thought Industries.
  • Any changes to date, time, etc. should be done from within Thought Industries to be communicated to Adobe via one-way communication.
  • Learners have the ability to register for and launch events directly from Thought Industries.

Note

Seminars from Adobe Connect are not supported and are not a part of the native integration.
