The eLearning Curriculum
Nokia Developer eLearning courses — designed to provide maximum information in the least time — offers a visually engaging, guided-learning experience. The courses include hands-on practice labs, audio, and multimedia-based information about Nokia platforms and the latest technologies in multiple-languages, Mandarin and English.
Because eLearning eliminates the boundaries imposed by time and location, eLearning is an excellent educational vehicle for teaching developers how to deploy and use new technology. Programmers and architects can study whenever they prefer.
