ASCENT Presents Classes and Showcases Learning Solutions at Autodesk University 2018
At this year’s Autodesk University (AU) 2018, attendees will have the opportunity to visit with experts from ASCENT – Center for Technical Knowledge, an Autodesk Authorized Author and Publisher, at the Exhibit Hall in Booth A210, as well as attend classes taught by three of ASCENT’s Learning Content Developers.
“The range of topics our ASCENT speakers are presenting at AU this year is indicative of the broad spectrum of knowledge and insight our team brings to every project,” says Paul Burden, director of product development, ASCENT. “One of our strengths is our ability to explain complex topics through our documentation in a way that learners can quickly understand and effectively apply the knowledge conveyed. In fact, we take that strength a step further by offering technical documentation services to help customers effectively use the products they develop. Whether it’s learning content for instructor-led training, self-paced online eLearning, or ongoing performance support, our team uses their instructional design roots to create learning resources that are unique for each client.”
