HOW AND WHY THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY BLOOMBERG SCHOOL OF
PUBLIC HEALTH USES MACROMEDIA (ADOBE) BREEZE
From our frequent discussions with educational technologists
at colleges and universities across the country, we are
seeing lots of anecdotal evidence showing a rapid increase
in the adoption of the Macromedia Flash media delivery
platform in fully online, blended and technology-enhanced
teaching and learning environments. We went searching for
some instances of Breeze Presenter and Breeze Meeting
adoption and found the Johns Hopkins University (JHU)
Bloomberg School of Public Heath, where Brian Klass, systems
designer in the Bloomberg School’s Distance Education Group,
talked with us about their overall use of the Macromedia
Flash delivery platform.

ABOUT JHU'S PART-TIME INTERNET-BASED MPH PROGRAM
The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health is the
largest school of public health in the world and the first
institution of its kind worldwide. It’s consistently rated
Number 1 by the U.S. News and World Report, and it enrolls
more than 1,900 students from 84 nations. So, it’s no wonder
that the Bloomberg School’s Internet-based Master in Public
Health Program does not have to be overly concerned about
the possibility of not filling up its two yearly cohorts,
each comprised of 60 to 70 students.

WEB CONFERENCING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT CHICAGO
Our relatively short research journey into Macromedia and
its use at Johns Hopkins University took us to several other
examples of web conferencing/live-online-meeting tools:
namely Centra, which was acquired by SABA in January, and
Linktivity. Centra Symposium is the web conferencing tool of
choice for the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC)
Instructional Technology Lab. Linktivity’s web conferencing
tool is being used at UIC’s College of Medicine Department
of Medical Education (DME).
