I’ve been an active LMS admin for years now and wish I could have a text like this for all LMS training. It is thoughtfully broken down and organized for users of all experience. Excellent standard operating practices that can be implemented in any LMS but is especially relevant and helpful for Adobe Learning Manager.

If you're an LMS administrator and your company uses Adobe learning manager as their LMS, this book is for you. My friend Damien sent me a copy of his book Enterprise LMS with Adobe Captivate Prime a few years ago. Since then, Adobe has renamed the product to Adobe Learning Manager to avoid confusion between Adobe Captivate, the authoring tool, and Adobe Captivate Prime LMS. As a result, Damien has wholly rewritten this book.You are going to read this book twice. The first time will be when you set up Adobe Learning Manager. Damien will teach you how to sign up for the 30-day trial and eventually convert it to a full subscription for your organization. Adobe Learning Manager is cloud-based, so there is nothing for you to install on a local server. There are still some administrative tasks you will need to perform, so the second time you read this book is when it sits on your desk as a reference tool. This book is the manual that doesn't come with Adobe Learning Manager. Adobe is excellent at creating great software, but sometimes their documentation leaves something to be desired.Once you have set up Adobe Learning Manager to match your organization's branding and colors, the book will teach you how to upload all the content that can reside on the LMS. Content created with Adobe Captivate is ideal, but you can upload just about any eLearning content from any authoring tool on the market. You also can upload videos, PDF files, and PowerPoint presentations. You can organize this content into courses; the book shows you how to do everything. Adobe has ingeniously created a player that can show your learners all this content called the fluidic player. I'm thankful for Damien's book because I recently used it to learn how to customize the fluidic player. I tried looking for details about this workflow from the Adobe help pages, but thanks to Damien's book, I learned the steps and procedures to customize it to have just the features I wanted.Most LMS can report on the assessments you gather from your learners. Level 1, which is how the learners feel about the training, is a standard assessment and report. Similarly, a level 2 report tells you about the learner's ability to recall what they learned immediately. What is unique about Adobe Learning Manager is the ability to send out a questionnaire to supervisors and managers to find out if learners are using their new skills back on the job. This is known as a level 3 evaluation, and the book covers this in detail, not only with how to automate the collection of this type of assessment but also with how to run the report.I only understood the following features once I read this book: gamification and social learning. Adobe Learning Manager can award badges for particular learning accomplishments and allow discussion boards for learners to share their knowledge and learn from each other. Enterprise LMS with Adobe Learning Manager covers this in detail, so not only do I now understand these features, but I'm excited to implement them with my test LMS and the LMS of my clients as well.Adobe learning manager is an LMS that grows with you, so even if you have an older copy of Enterprise LMS with Adobe Captivate Prime, you should consider getting the new book. This will provide you with a guide that not only has the updated branding but also gives you the most up-to-date features that you will want to take advantage of.

LMS’s can be complex products to use, with a wide range of features and functionalities, that all users may not wish to use or may only use from time to time. This book provides an essential guideline to LMS Administrators for Adobe Learning Manager. It allows you to quickly locate relevant topics and understand how they work in an efficient manner. I found it very useful to pick up the book, jump to my topic of interest and understand it quickly. Topics range from setting up your account to creating courses, managing users, using enhanced functionalities like gamification and social learning, to the Admin role and reporting. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is using Adobe Learning Manager.

Adobe Learning Manager has proven to be an invaluable asset in my pursuit of delivering world-class learning experiences to my clients, partners, and customers. Its user-friendly interface, content creation tools, customization options, delivery versatility, advanced reporting, and exceptional customer support combine to create an unparalleled learning ecosystem. Adobe Learning Manager has undoubtedly elevated my training initiatives and is highly recommended for enterprises seeking a comprehensive and effective Learning Management System.

Adobe Learning Manager is so powerful, we want to explore and utilize this tool to the best of our ability, but often find we need some guidance, some assistance. Damien has laid out the information in a way that just makes sense and is extremely user-friendly for an average L&D professional, while giving enough to satisfy our tech team as well. We truly reach for it before calling or accessing the internal Help Guide. Because it's so comprehensive, we feel this will be a valuable tool for not only where we are in our ALM journey today but will also help us as continue to grow with the product. Truly indispensable!
