The Bridge to Career Possibilities for People Everywhere

Aim: Be the bridge to career possibilities for people everywhere by providing the best workforce development program in the industry.

Cisco NetAcad will continue to develop new interactive course materials also for entry-level. “We need programs with a clearer pathway to good jobs, with
more nondegree courses and short-term options to build marketable skills”

The goal is to address the problems and opportunities of tomorrow:

• Responding to COVID related job displacement and reskilling needs.
• Hardening the global economy against hacking and increased cyber-attacks.
• Building a skilled workforce in Cybersecurity, Programming, and Networking.
• Fostering ICT knowledge and skills – when 90% of IT jobs are outside of the tech sector.

Verkenning "Interactief Digitaal Studiemateriaal" - CVO - 26 mei 2021

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.

Workshop by Tom Cordemans - IPD WEEK - May 2021

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. 

Diving into networking protocols by using the hacker’s perspective

Class Archiving

• Class “archiving” happens 3 months after the end date. Means class access is not possible, but Course details page contains student roster, final cumulative course grate, certificate of completion
• All Canvas classes must be concluded by July 31, 2021 and later will be “archived” with NO possibility to be recovered. Instructors must back up  any data (gradebooks, customizations, files) from such classes manually, if needed
• Current max. class length is 12 months for student classes and 6 months for instructor classes. Default class length is 3 months, but can be adjusted.  Means that current max. class availability period is 15 months (12+3).
• Netacad HelpDesk normally can help to unarchive some classes by request. Note that old Canvas classes will be impossible to unarchive after 15 September 2021, this is a no return date for Canvas classes.

Networking Academy Maintenance - Image & Hardware Support

All Networking Academy instructors can request access to download IOS images directly from Cisco as part of the NetAcad Maintenance program.  Please keep in mind that in order to download IOS images, the instructors will need to log in with their NetAcad login details.

TWINNING CONCEPT

The idea of interconnecting or twinning Cisco NetAcad Labs originates from Pierre de Fooz (BiASC & HEPL Liege, Belgium) who has created a working prototype and has performed tests with students from Belgium, Sweden and France. 

The Twinning competition is a co-creation remote lab challenge for "Twin Academy Teams". All Cisco NetAcad Member Academies from Europe North, Scandinavia, the Baltics & the Benelux region are invited to take part in the competition, with co-creation teams ("Twin Academy Teams") of two instructors and four students. Every "Twin  Academy Team" consists of 2 Instructors and 4 students from two Cisco Academies working together and researching, designing, developing and testing uses cases and connection services for Cisco hardware and other IT infrastructure. For taking part in the Twinning Project & Competition you have to be an active Cisco Academy and join up with another Cisco Academy team to co-develop the new connection service. 

Competition teams will have access the working prototype so that they can evaluate, use and test the existing connection services. After getting acquainted with the current prototype, teams are invited to propose and create additional uses cases or connection services. For testing the AcadConnect Twinning prototype your team needs a Raspberry Pi (Model 3) .

The aim of the Twinning Competition is to create uses cases and connection services for remote use of Cisco Academy labs. 

TWINNING CONCEPT

The Twinning Concept is based on the need for connection services across borders allowing collaboration between Cisco Academies, students and instructors by making possible remote connections with physical lab equipment.

When Cisco NetAcad labs and students/instructors are interconnected, it becomes possible for Cisco Academy students and instructors to experience real-life infrastructure and security planning, design, configuration, automation, monitoring and troubleshooting. A definitive advantage of Twinning will exist for students and instructors who have limited access to networking systems. They can be linked to real lab equipment, which will motivate them to continue their education and to become certified professionals.

Interconnecting Cisco NetAcad labs involves uninhibited communications between the hard- and software used in the Cisco NetAcad Labs. Because "twinning" involves real-time communication between students and instructors a smooth video/audio connection is additionally required to facilitate the collaboration.

CHALLENGE

• Creating didactic use cases of remote lab activities for students in true NetAcad style
• Developing a prototype and demonstration with practical examples
• Co-creating through a collaborative partnership of “Twin Academy Teams”
• Experimenting with existing Twinning prototype
• Creating connections between your lab and your partner's lab

Twin Academy Teams are briefed, trained, coached and followed up by NetAcad Coaches and Cisco Experts

Design, develop, prototype and create a didactic use case based on the Twinning concept between remote Cisco Academy labs. If necessary, create and develop the required connection service needed to operate the use case. Develop a prototype, demonstrations and examples. This involves testing, adding, improving and optimizing connection setup and termination processes, taking into account relevance, usability, manageability, availability, security, performance and affordability.

FROM KICKOFF TO FINALS

The kickoff briefing will be organized in May. A video explaining the prototype and the current prototype application will be demonstrated and shared with the participants. The challenge is for the teams to come up with extended new use cases, services or modules for remote lab activities.

During the competition there will be regular checkpoints with NetAcad coaches and Cisco experts.

An interim evaluation checkpoint will be organized, in which teams present a new use case or connection service, taking into account setup and termination processes and user experience. The best ideas will be selected to continue the competition and develop a solution.

TEAMS

• Number of teams in phase 1: max. 8 Co-Creation Teams or "Twin Academy Teams"
• "Twin Academy Team" Membership:  min. 2 Cisco Academy Instructors + 4 Cisco Academy students (from two Cisco Academies)
• Teams Enrollment: May-June 2020
• Student Proficiency Level: CCNA 3, Security, CyberOps, CCNP
  => For some students taking part in the competition can replace an internship
