Smartforce to create learning programme for Macromedia
Developers
SmartForce,
today announced it is co-developing more than 100
hours of e-Learning content to enable developers to
quickly learn how to use Macromedia tools and servers.
Available
in March 2002, the e-Learning content will be delivered
via a co-branded, MySmartForce platform for Macromedia
customers. It will also be available to SmartForce
enterprise customers and localised into multiple languages.
The
learning paths developed will cover the skills necessary
for the planning, design, and building of Websites,
Web graphics, Macromedia Flash animation, and ActionScript
applications introducing the developer to the fundamental
concepts and features of the Macromedia product family.
SmartForce
will co-develop these learning paths with Macromedia
using e3, the underlying application architecture
which integrates and supports SmartForce’s award-winning
content, technology and tools and services. Through
e3, users can access various learning objects from
seminars and workshops to simulations, all of which
will be targeted to meet specific learning objectives
for the successful use of Macromedia software.
“Macromedia
is committed to ensuring that our customers have effective
and flexible choices for learning how to use our products,"
says Carolyn Lightner, vice president, worldwide educational
services, Macromedia. "SmartForce
has developed a high-quality platform for delivering
dynamic, interactive learning content. In today's
economy, e-Learning provides one of the most cost-effective
ways to train employees to use software and ensure
that they are as productive as possible.”
“Macromedia software is widely used to create dynamic
Web content. SmartForce is no exception,” says Paul
Henry, Senior VP of SmartForce. “We are collaborating
with Macromedia in developing e-Learning and for providing
customers with the tools to publish custom content.
We’re proud to deepen our collaboration with Macromedia
to deliver engaging learning experiences for Macromedia
and SmartForce customers.”
The
Macromedia Flash learning paths will cover the creation
of animations and the development of applications
using ActionScript.
The
Macromedia Dreamweaver learning paths will educate
users on all phases of building Websites, including
HTML content, CSS, page layout, and JavaScript behaviors.
Macromedia
Fireworks learning paths will help developers to create
and edit Web graphics, add interactivity using a complete
set of bitmap and vector tools, and use Fireworks
and Flash integration features.
Content

building dynamic, data-driven Web applications from
e-commerce to business automation.
