Joseph Labrecque, author of the best-selling book "Learn Adobe Animate CC for Interactive Media" will facilitate a lively discussion of the Animate CC animation and interactivity software with a focus on producing content for educational purposes. We'll start with an overview of the software, its history in education circles, and the impact it's had on the changing technological landscape. We will also have a beginner's demonstration on how faculty and staff can use the software to design and produce useful animations and interactives to supplement classroom and online content.

10. To more accurately represent its position as the
premier animation tool for the web and beyond,
Flash Professional will be renamed Adobe Animate
CC, starting with the next release in early 2016.

and AIR formats as first-class citizens. In addition,
it can output animations to virtually any format
(including SVG), through its extensible
architecture.
