Adobe Connect at Contact North

Image of computer screens, a tablet and a phone with Adobe Connect

Adobe Connect is a web conferencing system that allows individuals to meet online in a synchronous manner. The University of Ottawa's current access to Adobe Connect is limited. Accordingly, the university has made arrangements with Contact North to provide all faculty and students at the university with access to Adobe Connect. 

Please also visit this page and take a few minutes to quickly learn about how to get started with using Adobe Connect.

For more informationcovering webinars on Adobe Connect please visit Adobe Connect Meeting Training Schedule web page. Recorded sessions are available in both English and French. Contact North will be adding a few short topic-specific webinars to the list of options, as well as a number of live Q&A sessions for faculty and instructors who have attended the webinars. It is not necessary to attend an  entire session but it is strongly recommended. 

To get started, please fill in the form below so that Contact North can create course spaces.

You will be added as a host to each of the course spaces that are created for you and once this process is complete, you will receive an e-mail from Contact North that contains your login information, as well as notification of the spaces that you have been enrolled in. Through a custom Contact North portal, you will then be able to conveniently access all of your Adobe Connect course spaces in one place. Do not hesitate to consult the Contact North Adobe Connect FAQ.

Adobe Connect Course Space Request Form

You can now request the creation of an Adobe Connect space the same way that you request the creation of a Virtual Campus (Brighspace) course space, via the Maestro platform. 

This change will improve and simply your request process since your basic information (i.e. your name, email, course list, and schedule) will already be already populated within the Adobe Connect form. It will also be easier for us to manage class lists so that Contact North can create your students' accounts.

When your account is created, you will receive your login information by email.
To then login to your course area, please follow the instructions below.
