We have had two LIR professors use Adobe Connect so students could attend
remotely.
What seems to have worked best is to use two laptops. Each laptop has a
webcam, the first is used to share audio and show the session in the room on
the projector and the second is a control station for the professor sharing
content.
The audio laptop is configured with the output from the room¡¦s sound system
(wireless and ceiling mics) as the laptop¡¦s microphone input. The headphone
output is run into the house sound system for remote audio in the room, the
remote students mute their mics unless needed. The webcam faces the
students in class. This machine is logged in to the meeting rooms as a guest.
It¡¦s important to go through the Audio Setup Wizard to eliminate feedback.
Another important setting is that the connection meeting room is set to auto
promote everyone to Presenter.
The second laptop is the professor¡¦s control station where they are logged in
as the Meeting Room¡¦s administrator and uses the web cam to show the
professor with no audio. This laptop also has the desktop shared so the
remote students can see the content, Power Point and web browsing.
Feel free to e-mail if you need more details.
