Adobe Education Technologies

Acrobat.com (link to Acrobat.com: https://acrobat.com/) has a number of very useful tools, and we here at the Adobe Education Technologies blog use it all the time.

With services like:

• Share,
• ConnectNow,
• Collaboration and Review in PDF files with Acrobat and Reader,
• Form data collection,
• Truly collaborative word processing with Buzzword, and
• Similarly collaborative presentations and spreadsheets,

we have begun to change the way we work with documents and remote colleagues. Because we are not alone in this, we get a question about the security of the tool frequently. Specifically, what does Adobe do to secure your work and privacy. Have a look: http://www.adobe.com/acom/systemreqs/

Widgets,Flash,Certificates

Adobe Captivate 4 has a new feature called "Widgets" which are a collection of Flash-created SWF files that you can add to your projects. Captivate ships with a bunch of them, and one of them in particular—the Certificate widget—is pretty fun. With it, you can offer a certificate to someone who passes a quiz you have created. There is even a button to print the certificate so you can proudly display your certificate of completion. We here at the Adobe Education Technologies blog built one called the Certificator, and you can see it in action by clicking the following link (link to the certificator: http://se.adobe.acrobat.com/certficator/). To learn more about how this was created, grab the Captivate project files, and start learning how to create your own widgets, read on. . .
