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:
“There are words in that letter to his wife, respecting the education of his daughters, which deserve to be framed and hung over every mantelpiece in the land. Compare this earnest wisdom with that of Poor Richard.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“I would urge that the yeast of education is the idea of excellence, and the idea of excellence comprises as many forms as there are individuals, each of whom develops his own image of excellence. The school must have as one of its principal functions the nurturing of images of excellence.”
—Jerome S. Bruner (20th century)
