Effective, interactive and informative UBC

Today it becomes more and more clear that the carbon footprint needs to be considered. Consequently, travels, energy use, paper, etc. have to be reduced. That does not mean we cannot get together and meet, it means we need to find new ways. One way is to hold meetings, seminars and to share documents via Internet.

The UBC will start using Adobe Connect. Adobe Connect is a safe, flexible and inexpensive web communication system. This software is used to create information and general presentations, online training materials, web conferencing, learning modules and user desktop sharing. Just using a computer, web camera and microphonethe members can come together and chat, use a common whiteboard, share documents, take part of lectures or just discuss with each other. This is a way for the members of the UBC to reduce the costs of travelling, the carbon footprint and time!
