VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE: After
performing the first operative of the VIRTUAL TOUR of the "JLF Virtualis Aula" involving five Latin American countries, two of these had
difficulty accessing the virtual classroom because their computers were connected
to the Internet through the
Local Network (LAN) of their company. The
problem is that the LAN (Local Area Network) has a Firewall and a Proxy to
protect the company’s information to be accessed by hackers and malicious
programs. Due to this, it is necessary to ask the informatics (Technical computer experts) of the company that
you have to use the domain adobeconnect.com which runs on Flash® and want to
know the access to the virtual classroom could be blocked in the LAN. They
have the ability to add the domain as authorized or give a key (Token) to users
to access the classroom from the LAN.
If this
possibility exists in your company, the informatics should contact Professor
Jose Linares Fontela before the VIRTUAL TOUR presentation is to be done, sending
an email to jlinaresf@gmail.com to coordinate the day and time, that they can
perform the test, in order for him to enable the platform and send them the
link (URL) so they can enter to verify that all this correct. You know when you
are unable to connect to the classroom if there is a screen like this:
As it is
expected neither the participant nor the professor know that the connectivity
blockage is happening, even when
the platform has been active an hour before the agreed meeting time. If
this screen appears, cancel it and inform your informatics of the situation.
If you are
connected to "JLF Virtualis Aula" with a direct access to the router
from ISP (Which is the device attached directly to the telephone line or a fiber
optic), whether your computer is connected to it via WIFI or cable, you will
have no problem to enter, as this only occurs when the LAN is connected to the router
through a Firewall or a Proxi.
Please
take into account this recommendation in order not to waste your time waiting
or being unable to watch the VIRTUAL TOUR at that planned moment. This
problem is easily solved and you will only have to reschedule with Professor the
assistance to the VIRTUAL TOUR in another date and time, after the informatics makes
the adjustments to the LAN.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Using
Adobe® Flash® (Before from Macromedia 1992-2005) allows you to use only an
Internet Explorer when you enter the "JLF Virtualis Classroom",
without installing any software on your computer. Once
the Internet Explorer is closed, when you leave the classroom, there is nothing
left on the participant’s computers (The only exception is when you use Tablets
and Smart Phones that you have to download the free APP Adobe Connect Mobile® from
the Apple Store ®
or Google Store®, as appropriate). Due to the use of Flash® you may be asked to
install updates and also in Air Flash® and a complement (Plugging) of Adobe
Connect®, before entering the classroom, this will be done automatically. But
this all it does to your computer is to improve the performance, for example
when watching videos or movies on the Internet (YouTube®, etc.).
