Op woensdagnamiddag 26 mei 2021 organiseert Belgian IT Academy Support Center vzw (BiASC) een verkennende infosessie voor CVO's over "Interactief Digitaal Studiemateriaal" voor kortlopende of langere IT-opleidingen.
In het volwassenenonderwijs gaan we een nieuwe tijd tegemoet waarin zich bijzondere uitdagingen aanbieden.
Zowel voor het tweedekansonderwijs als voor de kortlopende opleidingen hebben wij via Networking Academy een heel aanbod van interactieve digitale lesmaterialen die niet commercieel getint zijn. Het gaat om meer dan 20 relevante cursussen, die voor een deel via begeleide zelfstudie kunnen verlopen.
We willen graag uw aandacht vestigen op deze digitale opportuniteiten waarmee het volwassenenonderwijs een belangrijke rol kan spelen. De eerste stap is een interacitef webinar onder leiding van Nico Declerck, waarna desgewenst een volgende afspraak wordt gemaakt.
U kunt zich vrijblijvend inschrijven via dit formulier.

During the IPD Week on 5 May 2021 Tom Cordemans will be demonstrating best practices to teach about network security.
Tom says: "Learning protocols can be hard and sometimes boring. By using the hacker's perspective you can tackle the learning process in a different way. Let's find out. We'll use DHCPv4 as an example."
We encourage all instructors to take part in Tom's workshop. Tom is an instructor in higher education both in Bruges and Brussels. Moreover, Tom is an active advisor for BiASC.

Cisco IOS XE Programmability e-book
Cisco IOS XE Programmability Automating Device Lifecycle Management
This book provides a summary of the general concepts of programmability supported by Cisco IOS XE. Many books on programmability assume the reader has a background in software development and understands fundamental concepts about how software is built. This book does not make these assumptions. Instead, it is primarily written for network engineers who are new to programmability and wish to understand the basic concepts be fore moving on to advanced topics. For engineers with some programmability experience, this book will summarize the specic capabilities of Cisco IOS XE.
