Adobe eLearning Suite is a collection of applications made by Adobe Systems for learning professionals, instructional designers, training managers, content developers, and educators.
The suite allows 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 are special versions that contain additional features to improve the workflow and integration between the applications. These versions are available only as part of the suite and can not be purchased separately.
Adobe eLearning Suite is currently the only way to legally get Adobe Creative Suite 6 applications without the Creative Cloud.
