[Bf-education] Bf-education Digest, Vol 48, Issue 2

Wed Aug 12 14:05:04 CEST 2009

Dolf,
Thank you for the input.
Step one complete.
I took your advice and submitted my info to become a BFCT, and I know join
the proud ranks of the others on the list.

Next step is to set up some on-line quizzes to establish user levels and to
aim them to the right classes.

I would like to keep the Blender foundation in the planning stage of this
development even if Blenducation goes ends up offering certification
independently of the foundation. I would also like to offer anyone
interested in helping us out with this stage to join us as we revamp the web
site and build these quizzes.

The need we have identified is company Tuition-Reimbursement for
professional students.

Thank you Ton and the rest of the BFCT board.

David Hickson
