Acrobat.com workspaces- streamline elearning authoring
(4)

Most elearning authoring processes involve multiple stakeholders- across departments and organizations. It also involves multiple back-and-forth’s in getting feedback and signoffs on the storyboards and prototypes; coordinating across different stakeholders contributing assets like graphics and animations that eventually get aggregated in your Captivate project.

And from what we’ve heard, majority of this still happens via email and conference calls, and this process is the single most time consuming task in the authoring process. This process can also be the single biggest risk to your project timelines.

I think the new Workspaces from Acrobat.com will go a long way in helping eLearning professionals streamline this process. The goal of Acrobat.com  is to help you get more done faster by moving collaboration out of your e-mail and into an Acrobat.com Shared Workspace. Teams can create Shared Workspaces to store and share a set of files related to a project, letting distributed team members work together across times zones and firewalls, with no special file sharing software or IT involvement necessary. Read more about the features here; and here about how Acrobat.com Workspaces are ideal for coordinating work on projects with teams that span multiple organizations.

I should have also said that my reviewers cannot install software because they are on heavily managed computers, and getting software installed on their machines is nearly impossible. My team can install software because they use “corporate” rather than “government” computers.

Just an suggestion for Ed Lamaster: do you have CP4? Did you try the new feature: Reviewer?

What I’m REALLY hoping for is a way to do stakeholder markup of a Captivate project by a geographically separated team (without them all needing Captivate). Is there ANY way of accomplishing this today?

Thanks to this new feature, created a workspace to host and share a PDF-portfolio with external students who do not have access to our LMS. Will use this workspace again and again for sure.
