Ted Padova’s AUC Blog

This blog thread is designed for educational administrators and faculty who want to learn more about Acrobat and PDF in education. To kick off this thread, I added a little demonstration file created in Adobe Captivate illustrating how one might use both Captivate and Acrobat for courseware.

The example file is a demonstration for how a faculty member might use Adobe Captivate to instruct students on how to use a PDF file enabled with Adobe Reader usage rights for a lesson in basic Russian. Because Acrobat supports rich media it’s a perfect tool for a language lesson where an instructor’s audio can be heard; and with the PDF enabled with Reader usage rights, the students can record audio responses, take a test, and email the PDF back to the instructor.

To see this example, click the link below.

The PDF file (6.1MB) used in the demonstration can be downloaded by clicking the link below.

Anyone in education or training who has thoughts, ideas, questions, etc. about Acrobat PDF or Adobe Captivate please add your comments and suggestions.
