Adobe eLearning Explains Rapid Training

Munich (GER), November 2007 - According to the software producer Adobe, organizations today face tremendous financial, logistic, and other challenges when training employees, channel partners, and customers. With the company's eLearning solution for rapid training, it is possible to overcome these challenges cost-effectively and productively while increasing ROI through faster training and better results.




This solution offers what training professionals need to address a wide range of training needs like development of standards-compliant content, on-demand or virtual classroom deployment, and reliable formal assessments and reporting-”at a fraction of the time and cost of traditional eLearning systems. It also provides comprehensive curriculum and content management capabilities and integrates with common learning management and user management systems to help reduce application management costs.

With the Adobe eLearning solution for rapid training, users can build a streamlined, fully integrated training solution that includes Adobe® Acrobat® Connect™ Professional software for virtual classroom sessions; Adobe Presenter for easy Microsoft PowerPoint authoring of self-paced training courses and on-demand multimedia presentations; Adobe Connect Training for creating and managing eLearning courses and curricula; and Adobe Connect Events for managing and tracking users of large online courses.

The Adobe eLearning solution can be used to set up virtual classrooms and conduct cost-effective collaborative training sessions in real time, complete with multimedia presentations, software simulations, application sharing, and participant polling. Classroom sessions can be easily recorded for later on-demand viewing and shared through an instructor's dedicated, personal meeting room.

Because the system supports permissions-based access to course content and meeting room layouts, multiple presenters can share meeting room templates as well as course content and assets, using a fully searchable, centralized content library, which makes it easy to find, retrieve, reuse, and update existing training content.

With the Adobe eLearning solution, trainers can customize and manage all facets of online training . Trainers can also develop curriculua that drive results by combining live classes, multiple self-paced training courses, and other training content. In addition, they can easily define course prerequisites, specify optional and required modules, and establish progressive learning paths for self-paced training, live instructor-led training, and external events such as manager assessments. And, they can customize the look and feel.

The Adobe eLearning supports Active Directory and LDAP for user authentication, and all rapid training content produced with this solution is SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, and AICC compliant, making it easy for trainers and administrators to deliver and track courses through their existing corporate learning management systems.
