4. Getting to Your Session

You will receive a URL to browse to your Adobe Connect session from the Host (the person conducting) of the meeting. Session URLs will be something like:

http://connect.kumc.edu/MEETINGNAME 

where "MEETINGNAME" will be changed depending on what the host named the meeting.
If the session is part of your ANGEL course, the link to the session will be in your course where your instructor pasted the link.

Remember: it is best to login at least 10 minutes prior to the start time of the session.
