RWWI ASCENT - Center for Technical Knowledge® Launches New Webcast Series
Authors Share Actionable Insights, Advanced Tips and Effective Tricks for Users and Instructors Using Autodesk Official Training Guides from ASCENT
Rand Worldwide (OTCBB: RWWI), a global leader in providing technology solutions to organizations with engineering design and information technology requirements, announced that its courseware division, ASCENT– Center for Technical Knowledge, is introducing a new webcast series designed to provide an interactive experience to help Autodesk software users and instructors, make the most of their Autodesk Official Training Guides.
In each webcast, the authors of ASCENT’s Autodesk Official Training Guides (AOTG) explore a specific chapter from one of their books. Webcast participants are treated to a step-by-step walk through of the chapter as well as an accompanying software demonstration that depicts how the training guide and software go hand in hand. Webcast topics were selected by the authors and address common questions users and instructors had about how to use the software alongside a particular chapter of the training guide.
“As the official developers of Autodesk training guides, we’re always looking at innovative methodologies, processes and technologies that enhance the learning experience as well as increase the retention of the knowledge gained when training with ASCENT’s curriculum,” says Paul Burden, director of product development, ASCENT. “These new webcasts demonstrate how to effectively pair the training guide with the software and are led by our distinguished authors.”
