We have a new and exciting initiative called Aviary Education.
We recently announced the beta program on TechCrunch.
Aviary Education is a private environment for teachers and students to create content and collaborate together. In Aviary Education, teachers can manage assignments and projects using aviary's applications (Image, Vector and Audio). We are developing Aviary Education specifically with educators in mind.
If you are a teacher and would like to join the Aviary Education Beta Program please go to AviaryEducation.com and request the free beta. We will set you up as soon as possible.
You can follow our real time updates via Twitter, @AviaryEducation.
We look forward to hearing how you are using this new offering so please don't hesitate to provide any and all feedback.
If you have any questions, feel free to email us at edu@aviary.com
One amazing feature in our online vector editor that may be overlooked is the highlight path function. With the Edit Paths by Nodes tool selected any path you hover over will get a green highlight. When it is highlighted you can select that specific path by clicking. This means you can use the tool to easily select an object in a stack of many, as long as a little portion is visible.

Hover over any pin on a hub in our effects editor Peacock and the information that is passed from that pin will show as a tool tip. This is perfect for finding out the dimension of a hub, or troubleshooting variables. This also works with parameter pins.
Note: Color information is displayed as an integer.
