Webinar Moodle Documentation
Summary
This is an activity module for web conferencing which enables Adobe Connect webinar sessions to be added as an activity to any course.
Description
The Webinar activity module enables Adobe Connect hosted webinars to be added as an activity to any course. This is intended for hosted Adobe deployments, not on-premise deployments - see http://www.adobe.com/products/adobeconnect.html
The Webinar activity module includes the following functionality:
- Add/edit/delete webinar session
- Assign a host user to a session - based on 'teacher' system role
- Register for session / assign students to a session
- Unregistered for session / unassign students from a session
- Automated email notifications to registered students
- Join session
- View / record webinar
- Run attendance report
All webinar administration is done from within Moodle from setting up webinar sessions, registering users on webinar sessions and joining sessions. Only when the student clicks on Join Session do they leave Moodle and view the webinar in the Adobe Connect Player window. Upon exiting the webinar session they will be returned to the Moodle course page.
It has been tested using Adobe Connect Pro 8 hosted accounts, using the Adobe Connect Web Services API - see http://help.adobe.com/en_US/connect/8.0/webservices/index.html.
