David, I posted the following response to your same post over on the ACAD forum. I see that you've already found your way to the Educational Issues section. Lets see what kind of issues can be stirred up. ————————————————————————— I'm an ATC instructor near Chicago and I'm very glad to hear about this new SIG. You may want to also drop in at the Educational Issues section over in the ASOFT forum. That section is intended for discussion about teaching/training techniques for all Autodesk products, not just 3D Studio. I'll be at Autodesk University so I'll plan on making the meeting. Some of the objectives that I think the SIG might want to consider are: * Identifying training materials that are already available and promoting the development of new materials. * Providing input to the Autodesk Education Depatment as to what users want to see in structured, multi-level courses. * Promoting methods for evaluating training programs so that users can become informed consumers of training. * And above all else, search for ways of overcoming typical managment reluctance towards including training as part of an overall CAD solution. One thing's for certain, with all of the outlets for training/education available (high schools, colleges, ATC's, dealers, consultants), and the issues of testing and certification under discussion, this could well be the most contraversial SIG in the NAAUG organization.
