Efficient development - Work productively with all the right tools, extensions, and integrated workflows at your fingertips. Turn the contributions of subject-matter experts into engaging eLearning content using Adobe Captivate and Adobe Presenter. Further enhance your content to create robust courseware using Adobe Flash Professional and Adobe Dreamweaver.

World-class media editing - Engage your audience with powerful visuals and sound. Photoshop CS4 Extended includes everything in Photoshop CS4 plus features for editing 3D images and motion-based content, and Adobe Soundbooth CS4 lets you easily create, clean up, and customize audio.  

Flexible, standards-based output formats - Deliver content in the optimal format for learners and organizations. Support for standard formats--including SWF, HTML, PDF, AVI, and SCORM--enables easy delivery to the Web, the desktop, mobile devices, and Learning Management Systems.

Professional media organization - Manage your media visually with Adobe Bridge CS4, which is integrated with Adobe Captivate, Photoshop CS4 Extended, and other eLearning Suite components to help you easily organize, browse, locate, and view creative assets from a central location.

Integration with Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro for instant online access - Give learners easy online access to your content without a Learning Management System (LMS) or content server using Acrobat Connect Pro software (sold separately). Acrobat Connect Pro offers basic access-tracking functionality and lets you create an unmatched virtual classroom experience with support for rich media, integration of Adobe Captivate simulations, and more.

Integration between authoring and asset-creation tools - Work smoothly between Adobe Captivate and Adobe media-editing tools. Preserve layers in imported Adobe Photoshop (PSD) files to edit or animate them in Adobe Captivate; send Adobe Captivate audio files to Adobe Soundbooth for cleanup or enhancement; and embed Adobe Captivate movies in Adobe PDF files.
