MMETS Greeting from Garry Hargreaves DownUnder, I am a regular on the forum and a avid 3DS user. I have been reviewing Nancy Fulton's book (3DS Applied) for an Australian national publication `Multi-CAD' magazine. The mag features a regular 3DS spot and has the likes of Glenn Melenhorst & Michele Bousquet as subscribers/writers. I supplied a rather large educational multimedia interactive demo (35Mb) for inclusion on the book's accompanying CD. ***I was after some information regarding the MMETS for the MultiCAD article as a side bar????*** So far it seems to be a secret organisation. Autodesk doesn't talk about you too much – even in house (secret handsakes?). This text file will selfdistruct in 15 sec…one, two.. The Multimedia Education Training Specialist (MMETS). Appears to be a special 3DS curriculum development team which sets standards (or recommendations) for adoption by United States (and worldwide?) Authorised Training Centres (ATC's). I travelled to Siggraph 93 and met a bunch of MMETS and would like to know if anyone can talk about the aims/objectives/purpose of the MMETS (as they understand them)..and implications for other countries..goals for the future…requirements? I would also like to know about Autodesk's plans for Multimedia Training Centres around the world – since there is a good chance I will be involved the MultiMedia side of a government run technical training college (TAFE) which already has an ATC. (Technical And Further Education—(TAFE) has a statewide services some 250,000 students in various vocations – electrical/business/catering/underwater basket weaving etc etc) I realise your all busy people and I don't wish impose but maybe you can take a moment to post/email some MMETS promotional info? (Is there MMETS promotional info?) Wayne Hogins has already been in touch (from Malaysia) and suggested I post my request in the Educational Issues section of the forum. I'm also trying to contact Milton McGrew (or the CA Educational Marketing A'Desk persons) at the same time! ThanX for you help GH in OZ PS I'm sure the publishers of MultiCAD (John & Susan Teerds) would be happy to send you some examples of this excellent mag & 3DS resource…..
