Education Programs

In a continuing effort to help drive XBRL (Extensible Business Reporting Language) awareness and adoption at all levels, Rivet has created an Education Program that offers XBRL-specific software and educational materials geared for colleges/universities. Rivet provides quality classroom materials along with its award-winning Dragon Tag software at a substantial discount to make it easy for professors and instructors to make XBRL a part of the classroom experience.

The Software
Rivet Software's Dragon Tag shields the accounting and finance students from the sometimes daunting task of creating their documents in XBRL format. With Dragon Tag, tagging your financial information is as easy as using Microsoft Excel™ or Word™.

The Course Material
Developed by some of the best financial professionals in the academic world, the Dragon Tag instructional materials are an effective and usable complement to Rivet's award winning software. Students will come away with both a clear understanding of the basics of XBRL, as well as the role that Dragon Tag can play in its creation.

Program Details
Rivet believes there is a need for colleges and universities to teach the fundamentals of XML and XBRL. Therefore, Rivet's Educational Program offers both software and course material at substantial discounts to qualified colleges and universities to make it as simple as possible to embrace XBRL.

Dragon Tag for College Computer Labs is a fully enabled version with a 12 month life from the date of registration. Instructors receive a version of Dragon Tag that is also fully functional but does not contain the 12 month time limit. This license is only for academic use and not for commercial use.

Rivet's course materials are included with every Dragon Tag for College Computer Labs purchase and include an Instructor Guide, Student Guide and pre-formatted Excel spreadsheets which guide your students through both basic and advanced exercises in preparing XBRL.

20 to 50 seats = $500
