I signed up for the full package on the Macromedia University - and I am

disappointed. Maybe I expected too much.... What I thought was that it would

be a complete package - i.e. I sign up - get the course materials in PDF

form and follow the course; or at worst have to purchase the Macromedia

Authorised books.


This is not the case - for instructor-led courses, I must purchase the

element K books - which are not freely available in bookstores. For the

straight online courses - I have found no way of saving/printing/reviewing

the content studied.


What I have found useful is the sense of community - but then being on a

list like this offers the same thing.


The bottom line is - if I knew then what I know now - would I have signed

up. Sorry but the answer is not positive.


Anyone else have different opinions...


Regards

Vicki
