Adobe Connect allows you to watch and participate in classes using a computer with a high-speed internet connection. You can:

• see and hear your teacher in a live webstream,
• answer questions and participate in discussions through instant text chat or by using a microphone or conference call,
• watch PowerPoint presentations and short videos,
• participate in class polls, seeing the results immediately,
• give a live presentation using a microphone and webcam.

Adobe Connect classes are offered in “real-time,” combining the immediate exchange of knowledge in a traditional classroom course with the convenience and flexibility of online learning. As long as you have a laptop or computer with high-speed connections, you can attend class at home, in your office, or on the road.  However, Adobe Connect classes are only available during scheduled class time.  Classes are not available 24/7.  We use Adobe Connect since class dialogue and interaction are so critical to understanding QA/RA principles. Our on-line classes offer the same outstanding curriculum as our live classes at Fort Washington. To find out more or to ask for a brochure, email qara@temple.edu .

Temple’s QA/RA graduate program is also happy to videoconference courses directly to pharmaceutical companies. Contact qara@temple.edu for more information.
