Autodesk Aims to Redefine the Future of Design Education with the Autodesk Design Academy

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


It’s no secret that CAD tools can be among the most complex pieces of software to learn and – perhaps most importantly – use effectively with intent. Unsurprisingly, learning these tools has been a brutal experience for many that tests even the most patient of learners.

More recently, video sharing platforms including YouTube and Vimeo have enabled a new generation of content creators to create their own video tutorials using screen casting software such as Techsmith’s Camtasia. While the majority of these videos have been immensely helpful in communicating complex processes, the nature and layout of these video sharing platforms have left much to be desired in establishing any sort of a structured learning path that’s free of advertisements and unrelated video suggestions.

Inspired by the need to create a new kind of learning experience for a new generation of designers, engineers, Makers and 3D content creators, Autodesk has announced today that they are launching a new education platform for their 3D software products – the Autodesk Design Academy.

In an effort to make accessing and sharing the materials even easier, Autodesk is launching the interactive platform on iTunes U for users to take with them wherever they go. The iTunes U platform, which is designed to be a seamless way of organizing a classroom and sharing materials, allows educators and students to stay connected with lesson plans via an iPad.

To provide a diverse range of learning experience, the Autodesk Design Academy will offer three types of content – exercises, projects and courses – for beginner through advanced skill levels. Additionally, every project will include a bundle of supplementary resources that are aimed at helping students not only learn the software, but also think like designers. Among other resources included with each project will be an interview with the designer who created the product for the project as well as insights into the industry using the skills that have been learned in the project.

Needless to say, the Academy is the most comprehensive and forward-thinking approach to learning 3D software that we’ve seen. Among other courses coming to the platform this Fall will include Fusion 360, Maya and Inventor, among others.

Stay tuned for our upcoming interview with Peggy Snyder, Director of Autodesk education to find out more about the long term plans of the Academy. In the meantime, head over to the platform to take a look.
