Deliver training from virtually any mobile device
Deliver virtual training sessions directly from your mobile device, including hosting, presenting, session administration, file sharing, and other capabilities.
Course catalog
Automatically generate a master event catalog listing all courses and training sessions, which can be quickly embedded into a website. Trainers can create multiple tags within a catalog, providing options to view events by date, topic or other identifiers.
Template-based email content and triggers
Either standard or custom, email templates can be developed quickly and easily using new drag-and-drop capabilities. Email triggers can be created for specified registration groups at predefined times.
Instant access with no client downloads for desktops

With Adobe Connect software, you can rapidly create anddeploy content with instant publishing of content to the cloud, easy-to-use plug-ins for Microsoft PowerPoint, and industry-leading authoring tools including Adobe Captivate® and Adobe Presenter. Content creators can author materials and complete courses within days versus weeks, creating content once and publishing it for access across virtually any device. In addition, future eLearning sessions can be repeated without preparation using persistent virtual classrooms.

Create engaging multimedia experiences with just a few clicks in Microsoft PowerPoint, and quickly add narration, animation, interactivity, and simulations to eLearning courses using Adobe Presenter. Add interactive simulations, branching scenarios, quizzes, and more without programming using Adobe Captivate® software.
Reusable learning assets and content libraries
Record Adobe Connect virtual classroom sessions. Download, edit, and manage course content using the fully searchable Adobe Connect content library. Choose any previously created course from the content library to teach within your virtual classroom.
Reusable layouts and templates
Save virtual classroom layouts and content as reusable templates for individual or systemwide use. Content saved in templates becomes instantly available in new virtual classrooms created from those templates.
Leverage existing content
Directly publish SCORM and AICC compliant content to the Adobe Connect Server in order to leverage your existing learning libraries for use in Adobe Connect training courses and curricula, and make it easy to track individual and learner group activities and progress.
Author once and publish across devices
Author once and deploy across virtually any device, instead of recreating content many times to work on specific devices. Publish training instantly to the cloud, including Adobe Captivate and Presenter content, for deployment and tracking across broadly based audiences.
Deliver immersive experiences in virtual classes and on-demand courses
Teach and collaborate from any distance and at any time with a proven software solution that's easy to access and use. With Adobe Connect, you can deliver interactive, engaging course content to employees, partners, or customers via live virtual classrooms, self-paced learning modules, or on-demand training.
Backstage area
Leverage a backstage area and “prepare mode” to coordinate virtual classes behind the scenes, enabling multiple instructors to simultaneously update their layouts and upload new content on-the-fly without disrupting presentations in progress, helping ensure seamless execution.
Customizable and reusable layouts
Organize virtual classroom flow and content using customizable layouts. Easily select and arrange content windows for each layout, making the flow of your class easy and engaging.
Simultaneous interactivity
With Adobe Connect, everyone in attendance can complete simulations and quizzes and interact with content at the same time while remaining inside the virtual classroom experience.
Interactive recorded sessions
Make sure learners who missed a session don't miss out. All interactive, hands-on components — such as quizzes, simulations, and links — remain interactive even in recorded classroom sessions and meetings.
Breakout rooms to focus discussions
Create multiple subclasses, also known as breakout rooms. Breakout room participants can speak privately within their subgroups using VoIP or telephone audio. Hosts can monitor all breakouts, move between them, and broadcast messages to all participants across room boundaries.
Manage participation, track progress, and assess course effectiveness
Easily enroll users or groups in courses, curriculums, and virtual classrooms or let users browse an online catalog offered by your organization. You can also set and manage permissions to control who can see certain listings.
Measure real-time engagement in virtual classes
Monitor engagement in real time with an engagement dashboard in virtual classrooms. A color-coded meter helps instructors track content effectiveness and learner engagement, measuring both attentiveness and interactivity. Data can be tracked to influence and enhance future sessions.
Enrollment management
Quickly and easily manage course or curriculum setup using robust enrollment management capabilities. Manage enrollment with automated email notifications, and optionally set approval and prerequisite processes for self-registering learners to enter courses.
Tracking individual learner progress
Enable learners to view their assigned training and easily track their individual progress through learning paths. Curriculum managers and administrators can use prerequisites and test-outs to guide access and content selection.
Course reports and assessments
Assess course effectiveness with robust reports that provide a meaningful overview of student progress. Enable authors to gauge the effectiveness of their courses through customizable reports. Slide-level and question-level feedback indicates where revisions are needed.
