Hosting and collaboration via Acrobat.com TIME-SAVER: Host published or in-progress eLearning projects on Acrobat.com, an Adobe CS Live online service, and share them with learners and reviewers, who can access them from virtually anywhere.

Expanded asset library TIME-SAVER: Get a larger set of prebuilt widgets, playbars, skins, stock animations, images, text captions, and buttons with superior aesthetics and usability.

Roundtrip PowerPoint workflow TIME-SAVER: Leverage existing Microsoft PowerPoint slides in your projects. Import slides with audio and interactivity, easily update the content, and keep your PowerPoint and Adobe Captivate files in sync with the dynamically linked import option.

Text to speech functionality TIME-SAVER: Keep learners tuned in to your content thanks to automatic voice-over functionality that turns text into high-quality speech in a few clicks. Need to change the text? Just click once to update the audio.

Community Help TIME-SAVER: Access a large repository of help content, generated by Adobe and the user community at large, using an Adobe AIR application.

Rich animation effects NEW: Create rich object animations within Adobe Captivate 5 by combining predefined effects like straight-line motion, rotation, and glow. For added impact, smoothly import custom animation effects from Adobe Flash Professional software.

Multivideo support and synchronization NEW: Import video in a wide variety of formats (AVI, MOV, FLV, MPEG) and synchronize it with the project, slide, or set of slides.

Tracking and reporting NEW: Satisfy basic evaluation needs at no extra cost by tracking and reporting key performance metrics, such as average score and pass or fail rates, without having to invest in a Learning Management System.

In-context learner collaboration via Twitter NEW: Leverage the Twitter widget from Adobe to create courses that let learners collaborate with one another as well as the author by just logging into their Twitter account. They can ask questions, get answers, and access pre-existing discussions.
