TWINNING PROJECT & COMPETITIONLet Cisco Academies students connect to live Cisco Hardware labs for real networking challenges
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 (and virtual) lab equipment. The Twinning competition is a co-creation challenge for "Twin Cisco Academy Teams".
All competition teams will have access to a working prototype so that they can evaluate, use and test the existing connection services. After getting acquainted with the prototype, teams are invited to propose and create additional didactic use cases or connection services.

Free Access to all BiASC Members who have finalized CCNA3 V7 (ENSA) or equivalent. Send a message including your full name and instructor email address to <yvan.rooseleer@biasc.be>
This course aligns to the core exam, Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (350-401 ENCOR) which focuses on your knowledge of enterprise infrastructure including dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) architecture, virtualization, infrastructure, network assurance, security, and automation.
CCNP ENCOR v8 contains 29 chapters. The content for this course can be found in the Cisco Press CCNP and CCIE Enterprise Core ENCOR 350—401 Official Cert Guide.
Online you will find labs, quizzes, videos, and assessments that will help you prepare for the certification exam.

Webex Teams and Webex Meetings are cloud applications that can be used with nearly all computer systems, portables, tablets and smartphones.
Using the extra devices that are available gives some extra touch that works very well in a professional education environment.
We believe that the video and sound quality should be nearly perfect, because we are distance education professionals.

Hello everyone,
As you know, the situation is rapidly evolving, and it is with regret that we decided to postpone the event of 27 March so that you all have the possibility to setup something nice in a virtual conference. The date should be around end of April or May.
We would like to keep the same schedule. The idea would be, once again, to let you give an overall presentation of your IT academies in the morning, more suited for beginners or people who are not already part of your programs. The afternoon should be geared towards more advanced users of your products who would like to learn some new stuff about it.
As a reminder, there’s about a hundred academies part of BiASC who could potentially view all your presentations.
Best regards,
Jonathan Van Geel.
BiASC Advisor

All in-person events from the weeks of 16 March and later will be cancelled. In some cases we will provide webinars. You will be informed in due time.

Students can join a meeting with a desktop or laptop computer, a tablet or even a smartphone.

Advise for Newcomers and Deep Dive Webinar
This page gives basic information for newcomers along with a video reference to a deep dive explanation of the major components of the Webex ecosystem.
NetAcad instructors who have been using Webex for distance learning are attracted to this very useful collection of open standard communication and cloud collaboration tools. Webex Teams & Meetings offers all the possibilities that you get from other well known cloud applications. Only in Webex all the tools are integrated.
Participants can join a meeting with a desktop or laptop computer, a tablet or even a smartphone.
Open Standards and Integration
Webex is a combination of functionalities that you find in apps like WhatsApp, Messenger, Skype, Zoom, Dropbox, Adobe Connect ... Moreover, Webex is offering a very intuitive screen sharing, annotation, chat and polling tool. The elegant whiteboard application allows instructors to explain design concepts with the use of visual representations. Meetings can be recorded and all the necessary files can be up- and downloaded. Webex facilitates integration with calendar applications Microsoft Exchange, Office 365, Google Gmail.
Start simple, step by step
For group meetings and online classes we advise you to use the Webex Meetings tool with your students. This is the most simple for all participants. For small group or individual coaching we advise Webex Teams, in which students can also collaborate without a teacher.
Below is a Beginner's Guide in three languages:
A video has been created for you giving background information for professional and educational usage of Webex
