Many new Cisco Networking Academy courses and updated versions are arriving between now and the next academic year. The presentation Overview-networking-academy-for-educators gives you a description of the Cisco Networking Academy portfolio:
Quite a number of Cisco Academy Instructors have been working on hardware lab access solutions so that students are able to experience working with real equipment and solving real problems. Marc Delmotte has provided his students with all the equipment necessary for the CCNA and Security courses. Marc is an instructor Trainer in Belgium who also teaches full-time in higher education.
Marc Delmotte, ITQ, NetAcad Coach and Cisco Academy Instructor
J'ai mis en ligne 3 labos accessibles à distance par les étudiants en CCNA et en CCNA Security. Je peux encore améliorer le système, mais cela fonctionne déjà très bien. Les étudiants semblent enchantés. L'amélioration porterait sur une automatisation du planning des labos, car cela me prend beaucoup de temps…
At BiASC, PXL and HOWEST we have started experimenting with specific hardware to improve online teaching. Sensational! Additional Webex Support: URL: https://www.netacad.com/learning-never-stops
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.
Now is the time in which online education is more relevant than ever. NetAcad members from BiASC are entitled to use a full Webex admin account (up to a maximum number that we are able to provide). Equally, all other educational institutions can use a free full access account until the end of the current academic year.
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.
A video has been created for you giving background information for professional and educational usage of Webex We particularly advise to watch the part starting at time 16:24 until 45:54
A quality professional education program needs more than just content. Cisco Networking Academy is based on education research, learning engineering, innovative media animations and much more. Soon, you will even get a 3D learning experience. Contact us to learn the future of learning.

In recent courses Cisco Networking Academy is introducing the idea of communities of practice
Communities of practice are formed by people who engage in a process of collective learning in a shared domain of human endeavor: a tribe learning to survive, a band of artists seeking new forms of expression, a group of engineers working on similar problems, a clique of pupils defining their identity in the school, a network of surgeons exploring novel techniques, a gathering of first-time managers helping each other cope. In a nutshell:
Communities of practice are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.
For our interests, CoPs used by networking programmers include:
GitHub
Stack Overflow
Cisco DevNet
The Network Programmability with Cisco APIC-EM course refers to Communities of Practice (also known as Cop). If as a BiASC member, you want to have access to the Emerging Technologies APIC-EM course materials, please send an email to <yvan.rooseleer@biasc.be>
Mininet creates a realistic virtual network, running real kernel, switch and application code, on a single machine (VM, cloud or native), in seconds, with a single command: sudo mn
This tool is used in the workshops of the CyberSecurity Operations Networking Academy course.
Mininet enables you to quickly create, interact with, customize and share a software defined network prototype, and provides a smooth path to running on hardware. Because you can easily interact with your network using the Mininet CLI (and API), customize it, share it with others, or deploy it on real hardware, Mininet is useful for development, teaching, and research. Mininet is also a simple way to develop, share, and experiment with OpenFlow and Software-Defined Networking systems.
Mininet is actively developed and supported, and is released under a permissive BSD Open Source license.
At the Academy Day organized in collaboration with Cisco Amsterdam we were able to welcome more than 80 delegates from education to learn about new developments in the ICT domain and about new online curricula. The Academy Day is becoming a prime networking event for innovation in education. An interesting evolution is that there is a lot of support from the IT sector with offerings from Cisco, Oracle, CompTIA, LPI, NDG, Suse and FastLane.

On 17 and 18 November 2016 an IoT Hackathon Workshop for Cisco Networking Academy Instructors was organized at openBerlin. Participants were 45 instructors from all around the EMEAR region. Although this Hackathon was run at double speed, the results were still quite impressive. Both green ideas and technology innovation are found among the solutions and prototypes invented by the teams. The hackathon was conducted by BiASC and NASC, two Cisco Academy Support Centers from the Benelux.
THEME OF THE HACKATHON General theme: Developing Digital Economy/ Developing Digital Business Subtheme: Internet of Things/ Internet of Everything Topic: Smart Shopping/ Smart Shopping Center
TASK The task given to the participants was to develop creative ideas and a prototype for Smart Shopping or for the Smart Shopping Center.

The contents of the course modules of the postgraduate programme in Information Systems Management have been aligned with new certification tracks of Cisco, VMware and Corning. Starting the first week of October, we welcome you in the Cisco labs at the Odisee Brussels Campus every Monday through Thursday from 18 tot 21pm.
YUMI (Your Universal Multiboot Integrator), is the successor to our MultibootISOs. It can be used to create a Multiboot USB Flash Drive containing multiple operating systems, antivirus utilities, disc cloning, diagnostic tools, and more. Contrary to MultiBootISOs which used grub to boot ISO files directly from USB, YUMI uses syslinux to boot extracted distributions stored on the USB device, and reverts to using grub to Boot Multiple ISO files from USB, if necessary.
Aside from a few distributions, all files are stored within the Multiboot or yumi folder (depending on version), making for a nicely organized Multiboot USB Drive that can still be used for other storage purposes.
Important Note: YUMI was intended to be used to try to run various "LIVE Linux" Operating Systems from USB. Installing Linux from the YUMI created USB Drive to a Hard Drive is not officially supported. If the installer portion of any Live Linux distro does work, consider it a bonus.
