Adobe Connect is heavily utilized by Kolbe Academy’s students in live online courses, but it is also used by students to participate in peer tutoring, school assemblies, clubs, and teacher office hours.  

Install the Adobe Connect App

Windows Users: To install the application visit https://helpx.adobe.com/adobe-connect/connect-downloads-updates.html and select Download for Windows.

Mac Users: Mac users should follow the instructions in the dedicated article Installing Adobe Connect on a Mac.

To get the most functionality from Adobe Connect, installing the application is strongly recommended. 

 

If you are unable to install the application (because you are using a Chromebook, for example), you can still use the Adobe Connect virtual classrooms via your internet browser.

Logging In

Students will login to Adobe Connect using their MyKolbe account (the same credentials used to login to Microsoft Office 365). Students should navigate to kolbe.schoology.org and individual courses to find Adobe Connect links to their individual classes.  Upon entering the MyKolbe username, Adobe will redirect to Microsoft Office 365 for authentication.

 

 

Updating the Time Zone

It is highly recommended that students set the correct time zone to avoid confusion about class start times.  Go to https://kolbe.adobeconnect.com and login.
