Question

Why is Animate not present in Adobe elearning community?

Hello,

I'm a multimedia designer at an elearning department. We build elearning courses for our employees and also our clientes.

As I entered elearning.adobe.com I got surprised because Adobe Animate is nowhere to be seen or mentioned in the community, only Captivate. And I find this absence awkward specially because the main tool we use in elearning courses is Animate, not Captivate - although we also use Captivate, now and then.

Why is Animate not present in Adobe elearning community? 

Thank you!

I'd say because Animate is technically not an eLearning tool even though Flash/Animate was used extensively in eLearning. Just like Photoshop is not an eLearning tool, but used extensively to build eLearning.

But even being supporting elearning tools for some people, shouldn't Animate or Photoshop be part of the discussion in the elearning community, since they too are part of it? Otherwise, shouldn't it be called "Adobe Captivate community", instead of "Adobe elearning community"?
