Adobe eLearning Suite was a collection of applications made by Adobe Systems for learning professionals, instructional designers, training managers, content developers, and educators.
The suite allowed users to author, manage, and publish interactive instructional information including screencast demonstrations, simulations, and other interactive content. [1]
The Adobe Flash and Dreamweaver applications included in this Suite were special versions that contained additional features to improve the workflow and integration between the applications. These versions were available only as part of the suite and can not be purchased separately.
Adobe eLearning Suite was the only way to legally get Adobe Creative Suite 6 applications (other than getting a boxed copy of Adobe Creative Suite 6) without Creative Cloud.
Prior to its acquisition by Adobe Systems, Macromedia had a product bundle known as eLearning Suite 2004, which included Flash MX 2004, Dreamweaver MX 2004, and Authorware 7. [2] The following list shows the different details of the various Adobe eLearning Suite versions:
