Adobe introduces upgrades to online design and training platforms

Adobe this week released new versions of its eLearning authoring tool, Adobe Captivate, and its learning management system (LMS), Adobe Captivate Prime.

The company said that the new Adobe Captive Prime allows learning and development teams to deliver personalized experiences across multiple devices and manage both online and offline training more efficiently. The new version:

• Enables faculty and staff to customize their homepages using drag and drop widgets.
• Allows learning and development administrators to set up a single license for a group of users to easily share seats, catalogs and reports. 
• Allows instructors to schedule and manage live sessions themselves. 
• Offers the ability to access content on any mobile device, including smartphones, regardless of whether they are online or offline, without compromising the experience.

Adobe Captive is a design platform that enables users to create fully responsive content faster and without programming. According to the company, the latest version:

• Allows content creators to build mobile-centric, responsive content with new Fluid Boxes that group objects like text and images that make it easier to read content across devices.
• Helps transform legacy Adobe Captivate desktop courses into fully mobile modules.
• Enables users to leverage high-quality fonts from the Adobe Typekit library through a new Typekit and use them across courses.
