AdobeConnect is a classical web conferencing tool, with which mul-tiple users are enabled to perform online conferences. This means that all participants are atdifferent places and meet in an online room for discussion and interaction. Using this soft-ware for educational settings works just in the same way.

results, it can be concluded that offeringa thematic section of a course can be a good way to get students interested in the course content,to bring in projects that have a common theme and to help develop the students’ entrepreneurialmindset. Slight modification of the course, including developing thematic homework andprojects and adjusting the schedule to accommodate additional content are required, but canprovide benefits to the students as well as the instructor.Bibliography1.

In that case the studentpromptly purchased a replacement part and continued with the course in an otherwiseuninterrupted manner.For institutions wishing to adopt such a component to their programs, it is recommended that theinstitution ensure that the course be taught in a classroom with AC power receptacles at eachstudent desk.
