Adobe Edge 7 is Here

Preview 7 is here. New features include resizable layouts, rulers and guides, a more precise timeline, and much more.

Motion and Interaction Design for HTML5

Adobe® Edge Animate is a powerful, intuitive tool for creating stunning animated and interactive content using HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. Edge Animate is intuitive and has powerful features that can save time and headaches. Content made with Edge Animate runs gracefully on mobile devices and desktops, expanding your reach on the modern web.

Edge Animate Highlights:

Intuitive user interface — The features of Edge Animate are centered around a WebKit-based stage, so your compositions have fidelity across modern browsers. Design engaging HTML content with an assortment of styling options and integration with font services like TypeKit.

Animate with precision — Add motion to graphics and HTML elements with amazing accuracy with Edge Animate using the powerful, yet easy-to-use, timeline editor. Edit property-based keyframes and enhanced easing for complete animation control, or leverage the Pin tool to speed up the animation process.

Energize existing HTML — Since Edge Animate works natively with HTML, you can open HTML pages and add motion to them. The animation code generated by Edge Animate is stored in a separate file, so the integrity of the page is preserved.

Extend — Enhance the richness of your work with Edge Animate by handling user interaction and playback control. Use the built-in code snippet library or add your own JavaScript code.

Symbols — Create nested animations with independent timelines and interactive capabilities. Symbols are reusable and can be controlled via exposed APIs and pre-built code snippets.

Mobile-ready content — Content created with Edge Animate is designed to work reliably on iOS and Android devices, and modern desktop browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Internet Explorer 9. Edge Animate also lets you define a fallback state for older browsers.

Improving Performance with Mobile Delivery: Creating a Business Case and Moving the Strategy

By 2015 over 7.1 billion mobile connected devises are predicted to be in service around the globe, our expected population increase will only grow to 7.2 billion. Hailed as the fastest adopted technology in modern history, the mobile device is both an opportunity and an obstacle to today’s businesses. Users have greater control in a mobile environment over what they can view, what they are exposed to, and how they interact with content pushed in their direction. Attempting to fit old marketing, old concepts, or even old learning into a mobile environment can be both frustrating and rarely garners the performance hoped for by the initiative. Learning organizations who understand the value of this new medium, have learned to develop full m-learning strategies that both leverage the unique delivery model and create a business case for its integration into an organizations larger learning strategies.


Join Stacey Harris, VP of Research for Brandon Hall Group, and Ara Ohanian, CEO and President of CertPoint, as they share key practices in developing and executing on an m-learning strategy and business case for multiple organizations.


Key take aways include:


• Key practices in assessing m-learning needs and opportunities
• Insights on understanding your needs in both a U.S. and Global market
• Approaches to developing a strategy and business case for m-learning in your organization

• Creating m-learning that goes beyond m-performance support
• Illustrations from large and medium businesses of their m-learning business case, strategies, and execution plans
