In the middle of Figure 1, notice the Manage section. The different Administrator functions are laid out as seen in Figure 1. For purposes of brevity, I’ll abbreviate the name to Prime for the rest of my review.Īdobe claims that you can install Prime and start setting up courses in 90 minutes, and my own experience shows this to be true.

However, you can also upload PDF and PowerPoint files, and videos, too. It works with any lesson built in any authoring tool that outputs to AICC, SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, or xAPI. It isn’t an LMS just for Adobe Captivate projects. My summation? You really need to look at Captivate Prime if you’re looking for an LMS! What’s in a name?įirst things first: I think the name can be confusing. When I came across an article that ranked Captivate Prime at number one, I knew I had to see for myself what Captivate Prime had to offer. Then Adobe set out to create a new LMS that it hoped organizations would find easy to use and yet powerful too. The company began researching first what organizations liked, and then what they didn’t like, about their LMSs. I heard someone from Adobe say in a Q&A once that the reason they had decided to create an LMS, called Captivate Prime, was because they heard too many stories from Captivate users about the difficulty they were having with LMSs (so I wasn’t alone!).
In the eLearning market, Adobe is most famous for its products Captivate and Presenter.
In fact, most organizations that have acquired an LMS tend to have complaints about them: They’re too complicated, they don’t do enough or do way too much, they don’t seem to work correctly with authored lessons, they don’t offer a variety of reports, and so on. However, I’ve had my share of headaches when working with them. Almost every one of them served its purpose of allowing for learner registrations, for the setting up of courses, for communication between itself and lessons created in an authoring tool, and for administrators to track the progress of learners, both individual and in the aggregate. I have worked with many learning management systems over the years.
