Tech Tip
- There is more good news about free stuff. In reality, Adobe Connect has always been "free" for Extension, since employees were grandfathered in. However for the last two years if you went to the Connect page, you were greeted with a scary fee schedule. As of August 30, it is now clearly free to all USU faculty and staff and there is an excellent menu of tutorials. Click here for more information.
