Adobe have made this effort to encourage the use of Web 2.0, a new version in the World Wide Web. However I'm sure they have also done this to get more people to use the software after their education.

Adobe Flex 2 is an integrated development environment (IDE), for designing and developing rich Internet applications (RIAs), and is available to download straight from the Adobe website for qualified education end-users.

The Web has revolutionized the way we access data and has transformed the way we interact with our networked environment. This has led to educational institutions, worldwide to academically promoting Internet-based information sharing and content creation, said Jacob Alex, Adobe Middle East's Channel Manager.
