Adobe Rolls with Acrobat Connect Pro
(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Adobe Systems has announced a new version of Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro,
the company's Web conferencing and eLearning solution.
Acrobat Connect Pro includes features for Web conferencing such as
options for archiving and editing recorded online meetings; new
presence capabilities that can allow federation with popular instant
messaging (IM) clients; and compliance and usage reporting tools.
eLearning enhancements include break-out rooms to let students in
virtual classes initiate separate conversations online; rapid authoring
of video-based content; integration with Learning Management Systems
(LMS) from Blackboard and SumTotal; and tools that track and organize
online classes. Users also can easily tailor training sessions or
meetings that help capture participants' attention and increase
knowledge retention, resulting in an online learning experience
remarkably similar to an in-person class.
"With Acrobat Connect Pro, we have been able to reach more people and
maintain greater control over the content, which has given us a much
higher degree of training consistency," said Steve Bamberger, national
training manager, eLearning, Toshiba America Business Solutions, Inc.
"Integrating Acrobat Connect Pro into our online training initiatives
has been enormously instrumental in helping us enhance communications
and grow business lines, and we've been able to extend this enrichment
to other teams for use in product launches and customer meetings."
"Organizations and educational institutions alike are challenged with
reaching highly distributed workforces or student populations, as well
as communicating, collaborating, and transferring knowledge at the
accelerated pace of today's demands," said Rob Tarkoff, senior vice
president of Adobe's Business Productivity Business Unit. "Whether it's
meeting with co-workers across departments, or conducting virtual
classes across continents, Acrobat Connect Pro can help break through
technology barriers by letting virtually anyone participate in
effective online communication and knowledge transfer."
