iTunes U is the best way to bring a classroom together on iPad,
helping educators build lessons with amazing content, collect and
grade student work and stay connected with their class.
A key component of the Autodesk Design Academy iTunes U course
is learning materials about the use of Autodesk Fusion 360, which
brings CAD, CAM and CAE together in the cloud. It’s an integrated,
connected, and accessible platform built for the new ways products
are being designed and made.
Autodesk also launches the Autodesk Design Academy Multi-Touch
book, which includes learning materials about Autodesk SketchBook
Express, software that brings digital art and concept sketching to
life. Both the iTunes U course and Multi-Touch book will be
available for free on iPad this fall.
“Getting our curricula and learning resources to millions of
educators for free through iTunes U and Multi-Touch books is a
fantastic opportunity to empower students with the tools that will
help them to imagine, design and create a better world,” said Randy
Swearer, vice president, Education, Autodesk. “The new Autodesk
Design Academy iTunes U course helps us to bring best-in-class
resources to more schools, establishing a future pipeline of
designers, architects and engineers.”
In December 2014, Autodesk announced a multi-million dollar
commitment to make available free access to its 3D design software
and creativity applications to schools, educators and students
around the globe to support future global economies and drive
innovation.
“Autodesk software is used heavily in the engineering industry,
and I want my students to know it well so they can jump right into
a job without the employer needing to train them,” said Jennifer
Hohne, educator, Heritage Hills High School, Lincoln City,
Indiana.
The Autodesk Design Academy complements Autodesk’s 3D design
software and creativity applications across the education continuum
to advance learning outcomes, including:
- Building proficiency with learners to
support STEAM education both in and outside of the classroom
- Imparting industry-relevant knowledge
and 3D design skills to give students a competitive edge to achieve
their personal goals today, and career success in the future
- Helping educators inspire creativity
and innovation through a project-based curriculum and a
multidisciplinary approach to education; facilitating collaboration
and hands-on problem-solving skills that reflect today’s business
realities
