"barnesandnoble.com provides a unique service to the forward-thinking corporate customers who are adopting the O'Reilly/DigitalEd web-based courses," said Jill Berlin, O'Reilly's Director of Sales. "We're pleased to enter into this partnership with them to promote our state-of-the-art courseware via barnesandnoble.com."
O'Reilly/DigitalEd courseware, launched in March, 1998, is being used by corporations including Cisco Systems, US Internetworking, Verio, and Sun Microsystems.
Wendy Moore, US Internetworking's director of training, said "DigitalEd enjoys instant credibility given its partnerships with expert content partners including O'Reilly & Associates. We never have to worry that DigitalEd courseware is accurate or up-to-date. Just as impressively, DigitalEd courseware is well designed, intuitively responding to how our people best learn. It doesn't require a lot of bandwidth and provides a rich, interactive learning environment that makes a very strong case for the benefits of web-based training."
