Webqem is pleased to announce the launch of a brand new Adobe software training initiative for educators – ready2teach.

ready2teach offers educators an informal, just-in-time approach that will help make the most of the Adobe licenses you have.  Being able to interact with the trainers in a “virtual classroom” means you can tap into a mine of information.  And if you can’t make the live sessions you can view them later anywhere, anytime.  The topics cover all the key aspects of Adobe’s Creative Suite so there’s bound to be something to suit every educator – in teaching, administration or research.

This is an excellent opportunity for all teachers to improve  their knowledge and skills, while experiencing the virtual classroom environment.

For educational institutions it offers a cost-effective solution – to provide training opportunities for all staff – while maximising the investment in ICT.

Mark Upton, specialist coach for the Adelaide crows, approached webqem for advice on how to solve their issues around reviewing game footage.
