TITLE IBM OS/2 2.0 AND YOU/DOS
ABSTRACT The OS/2 (R) 2.0 And You/DOS course, announced as a program
offering from Skill Dynamics (TM) -- an IBM Company, is
computer-based and offers students the flexibility to study material
at the time and place most convenient to them. This delivery method
provides an attractive and economical alternative for some students,
when off-site classroom training is not feasible.
The course features:
o Convenient delivery
o Built-in learning questions
o Attractive visual format
o Simulated OS/2 2.0 exercises.
It operates under DOS and can be taken before the user has
installed OS/2 2.0.
This course is complementary to classroom education and is
intended to supplement and serve as a prerequisite to other IBM
courses that deal with OS/2 2.0 products. The course provides
essential technical background material for students implementing or
considering the implementation of a OS/2 2.0.
The computer-based training delivery method allows the student
to complete education in-house where other professionals, with
detailed knowledge of OS/2 2.0, are available for help and
consultation. Tuition, airfares, housing, meals and other expenses
typically incurred when sending one or more students to off-site
class are avoided.
The maximum benefits of this computer-based training course
can be realized by studying the online tutorial, and optionally
reinforcing that material through the provided quizzes and summaries.
OS/2 2.0 And You/DOS features high-resolution graphics used as a
teaching tool in the tutorial. Once the course is completed, it can
serve as a refresher and a source of reference.
Planned Availability Date: October 23, 1992.
