Education
Industry education has been limited, but more options are becoming available. At least one firm, Platt Retail Institute, offers formal education programs, and provides various research reports (such as the North American Digital Signage Index and the Journal of Retail Analytics, among others), as well as a searchable article library. Another option is manufacturers that offer technology focused training (firms such as Black Box Network Solutions and Ingram Micro). Several other firms offer introductory courses and IT-based training as well. In 2009, Texas State Technical College created an associate’s degree in Digital Signage Technology, using their Second Life delivery system.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“If factory-labor is not a means of education to the operative of to-day, it is because the employer does not do his duty. It is because he treats his work-people like machines, and forgets that they are struggling, hoping, despairing human beings.”
—Harriet H. Robinson (18251911)
“There comes a time in every mans education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“In that reconciling of God and Mammon which Mrs. Grantly had carried on so successfully in the education of her daughter, the organ had not been required, and had become withered, if not defunct, through want of use.”
—Anthony Trollope (18151882)
