Releases Adobe Captivate 9 with enhanced mobile authoring and
more that 25,000 eLearning assets
Adobe (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced the introduction of Adobe
Captivate Prime, a new self-service Learning Management System
(LMS) that enables learning professionals to easily and efficiently
setup, deliver and track any form of learning. This new cloud-based
offering – which complements Adobe’s range of eLearning tools,
including Adobe Captivate 9 (also launched today) – enables
specialists in learning and development, training and corporate
human resources departments to take charge of the learning
environments they manage and boost impact by developing skill-based
learning programs.
According to Frost & Sullivan customer surveys, over half of
organizations that have already deployed LMS solutions intend to
replace their existing systems, as technology and business needs
evolve. Additionally, unsatisfied customers are looking to switch
vendors rather than upgrade their existing solution.
“We are aware of the challenges that organizations face today in
rolling out learning programs and keeping employees
engaged,” said Matt Thompson, executive vice president,
Worldwide Field Operations at Adobe. “Captivate Prime is designed
to make the learning management process intuitive, quick and
easy to roll out, so users no longer feel IT dependent. The
learner-first approach helps build a culture where employees
don’t dodge learning, but embrace it.”
“Technology, data and automation have completely changed the way
companies go to market. This rapid pace of change has created an
urgent need for new training and education to give our
marketing staff command of the latest tools and technology,” said
Stephan Beringer, CEO of VivaKi (VOS). “VivaKi is uniquely
placed to deliver learning platforms to Publicis Groupe, and we
partnered with the Adobe Captivate Prime team to build a truly
dynamic and bespoke learning experience that can be easily scaled
around the world. The Adobe collaboration has resulted in what we
believe to be the first, most interactive and intuitive
programmatic certification process available.”
In addition to providing ease-of-use and end-to-end learning
management, Captivate Prime helps organizations:
- Offer a stimulating learner
experience: The new Fluidic Player provides learners with a
unified playback experience for virtually any kind of content, so
they can seamlessly play videos and access PDFs, PPTs, DOCX, SCORM
and AICC-compliant packages, all without having to download plugins
– minimizing latency. Fluidic Player also allows learners to
bookmark or add explanatory notes at any point in their content,
which they can quickly reference later.
- Establish a learning culture and
deliver impact with gamification: Enable learners to view their
progress within a personal dashboard that indicates courses
completed or pending, recommended courses, skills attained, badges
received and information on activities that can earn them more
badges and points. The dashboard also launches a leaderboard where
learners can compare their performance against peers. Additionally,
the dashboard recognizes and rewards learners when they exhibit
qualities such as initiative and involvement, or when they achieve
specific learning milestones.
- Deliver mobile learning even when
offline: Now learners can resume learning even when they are
offline. The Adobe Captivate Prime app downloads learning content
onto a tablet, makes it available for offline access and auto syncs
when the learner is back online.
- Maximize learning impact:
Achieve business goals faster by developing new skills and closing
skill gaps. Organizations can now get actionable insights by
tracking all online, offline and certification training taught
to their employees or external partners.
Introducing Adobe Captivate 9
Adobe Captivate 9 drives responsive eLearning forward by
empowering trainers, educators and instructional designers
to rapidly create virtually any kind of eLearning content
for both desktops and mobile devices.
Captivate 9 now extends authoring capabilities to mobile devices
through the all-new storyboarding app Adobe Captivate Draft*. When
used in tandem with Captivate 9, Captivate Draft automates the
process of converting ideas into storyboards complete with more
complex eLearning elements, such as content and question slides and
branching logic. Once done, simply import the storyboard from the
app into Captivate 9 and continue building
your eLearning course.
Courses created in Captivate 9 can be enhanced using SVG
graphics or by selecting content from a new library of more than
25,000 exclusive eLearning assets, such as games, interactions,
scenarios, characters and more. To achieve complex outcomes, course
designers can incorporate multi-state objects and responsive motion
effects, without any programming. Once a course is ready for
distribution, users can take advantage of single-click publishing
to Captivate Prime, delivering a superior learning experience for
learners while maintaining control of the learning environment.
