We have been using the Adobe eLearning Suite extensively lately -- trying out the individual products within the suite, using them within a PowerPoint centric workfklow, and creating tutorials using these concepts on this site.
Many Indezine visitors and subscribers would like to know how they can get the product, and try it out before deciding whether they want to buy it or not -- and for a product that costs northwards of $2000 for the full version, that's a very wise approach indeed.
You first need to visit this page on the Adobe site: Adobe eLearning Suite -- this will bring you to a page that looks like what you can see in the screenshot below:
The screenshot above is smaller in size than the actual web page you will get to -- but the most interesting options are the three listed on the top left -- and we explain them below:
That's for now -- in a subsequent post, we'll explore more facets of this suite of programs.

Adobe is a name well known to anyone who works with graphics and media content -- and they bundle several of their award winning programs in suites that contain a set of applications geared towards a specific use. Adobe already has such suites for the Creative and Production categories -- and their newest Suite offering is squarely aimed for the burgeoning eLearning market. The main products in the Adobe eLearning Suite are Captivate, Acrobat, and Presenter. These work directly with Microsoft PowerPoint whereas other products in the Adobe eLearning Suite such as Photoshop, Flash, Dreamweaver, Soundbooth, etc aid in making the Suite sweeter and more integrated.
In this review, we'll take a closer look at the Adobe eLearning Suite.

The amount of content available in the form of PowerPoint slides is amazing -- almost every computer literate person has a bank of slides, be it at their company, home, school, university, or elsewhere. Most of this content won't work too well when saved as a document -- but since slides typically have (or should have) small portions of large sized text with contrasting backgrounds and visuals, they end up becoming perfect as content from PDAs and Smartphones.
Products like ToolBook Instructor do a whole lot more than just such conversion, but in this review, we will focus on the PowerPoint capabilities of Toolbook Instructor, which will help you to convert your PowerPoint files into online, interactive learning course content with ToolBook's rapid eLearning content creation capabilities.

Gabe Anderson (pictured to the left) takes care of support and community initiatives at Articulate, a provider of rich media products used for e-learning.
In this conversation, Gabe discusses Articulate Online, and how this service integrates with Articulate's other products.
Geetesh: Tell us more about Articulate Online, and how it is helping people deliver content.
Gabe: Articulate Online allows you to effectively track e-learning activity without the usual cost and hassle. You can publish directly to your Articulate Online account with a single click from either Articulate Presenter or Articulate Quizmaker. All content is hosted on and delivered from the Articulate Online server, so you can easily get your content to your target users with just a link or via a personalized user portal.
Then you can run a number of detailed reports to see how your users are interacting with your content -- who's viewing your presentations and how your users are scoring on your quizzes and answering your survey questions.
And with plans starting at just $199/month, Articulate Online is easier to use and more affordable than complex and expensive corporate learning management systems that are difficult to use and have more features than you need.
