When entering the Adobe Connect environment, the standard set up for the course will have a set of windows appearing. The information presented here concerns the small windows along the left side. They are named "Camera and Voice", "Attendee List" and "Chat".
You enter messages in the single-line white box near the bottom of the Chat window. Messages are sent by pushing your "Return" key or by using your mouse pointer to click on the send button (the crooked arrow near the lower right of the window).
Along the bottom of the window, next to the "To:" button is a menu that allows you to choose who receives your messages: Everyone, just the presenter(s) or just one other individual in the virtural room. (This means students can pass notes in class, and it appears the teacher will never know!)
Near the top of this window is a pull-down menu, "My Status". Changing your status allows you to send alerts to others, especially the meeting leader. One especially useful alert is if you have a question: simply select the "I have a question" status, and the icon with the "?" will appear next to your name. Similarly, you can respond to simple yes/no questions from others by choosing the "Thumbs Up" or "Thumbs Down" option. Note the other options available, too.
