Let's take a look at the recommended learning resources.
01:03
First of all, let's consider how to register for live webinars or watch them on demand.
01:11
The Forma adoption team currently runs two webinar series.
01:16
The first one is a get going with Forma, one-hour long onboarding webinar.
01:22
The aim of these webinars is to provide a general technical introduction to the software and some key workflows.
01:29
The second webinar series is an Ask the Expert series,
01:35
which aims to supplement the onboarding series by providing deep dives into particular capabilities or features.
01:42
These are often a combination of discussions and demos,
01:46
where we are typically joined by a product expert who sheds light on future developments within the area as well.
01:55
Webinar registration can happen via the webinar landing page that's available on the Forma Help Center.
02:02
That landing page includes upcoming webinars and also, recordings of previous webinars.
02:09
The second point in the recommended learning pathway here is to engage with the in-app product tours and checklists,
02:15
to consolidate your knowledge.
02:19
The hub landing page, which is accessible from the home tab in your hub,
02:25
contains the product tours and checklists along with your recent projects.
02:30
Product tours to help you discover form capabilities in an interactive way,
02:35
and the tours can be launched by clicking "Take tour" and you will be guided through features in the user interface in a virtual manner.
02:46
There are different tours available depending on the intent that you are trying to achieve with Forma.
02:51
You can take a tour that shows how to enrich your project with real world data,
02:55
a tour to help you discover analysis settings, and a tour to help you get creative with the design tools.
03:05
The checklists aim to supplement the product tours.
03:08
These are a set of tasks that take you through workflows and the software in a step-by-step educational manner.
03:14
Like product tours, there are different checklists available depending on your intent.
03:20
The checklist can be launched via the landing page or via the tasks bar located via the help button inside the Forma software.
03:31
Third point in the recommended learning pathway is the Forma Help Center.
03:36
As you can see, the documentation is grouped by theme.
03:41
For instance, you can discover get started guides, technical documentation,
03:46
how to guides on design and analysis capabilities, use case descriptions, and also videos, if you are a visual learner.
03:55
Here, you can see what the help button looks like and it's the top Help menu there.
04:05
As mentioned, if you are a visual learner, do check out the video tutorials that are found in the get started collection.
04:11
These cover a range of themes from project creation to more advanced design workflows.
04:19
Finally, we encourage you to leverage the community forum to ask questions and engage in discussions.
04:24
There are many benefits of engaging in the forum.
04:27
For example, you can share and receive tips and tricks on features and workflows.
04:33
You can ask questions and speak directly to our product managers and developers.
04:38
You can see what we are working on.
04:41
Often, we share discovery work, possibilities to join early future testing groups, and similar.
04:49
And it's also a great way to share your feedback with our team.
04:56
And finally, we'll just end with a summary of the recommended learning resources that we have gone through.
05:01
First, it was to register for live webinars or watch them on demand via the webinar landing page.
05:08
