All Cisco Networking Academy are migrated to a new user experience. However, only the learning management system is changing; the course content, hands-on labs and exams remain the same. The plan is to migrate every NetAcad course to the new environment by End October 2020.
ADVICE: If you are keen on using the new course experience, create the course when the actual course has been migrated.
The new experience courses provide a cleaner and more unified user experience. There are more possibilities for instructors to customize content. Also, there are better ways to prevent cheating during exams have been put in place.
Main elements of the new course experience tour

REMARK
Legacy experience courses end on 31 July 2021. There is no way to extend the course. You have to recreate a course if it needs to be used after 31 July 2021.

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.

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
We particularly advise to watch the part starting at time 16:24 until 45:54

More than 80 attendees from Networking Academies in Belgium took part in the info sessions on 7 and 8 November 2019. More than a quarter of participants are education managers and coordinators.
The Digital Economy has started to play a role in the world of education. The first education domains influenced will be technology and business programs at all education levels. In IT Infrastructure and Networking a very big change will be the evolution "from CLI to API". Managing systems and networks will be based on APIs.
In the second semester of the academic year 2019-2020 a large number of instructor workshops will be provided to allow teachers to prepare for the upcoming changes in the curriculum. Topics will be: Network Programmability (DevNet), (Cyber) Security, Packet Tracer (Autocorrection & Multilink) and topics like Wireless Network Management to support new modules in CCNAv7.
BiASC wants to thank Henallux, Digital Wallonia, Cisco BeLux and Cisco CSR for their brilliant support.

Network Collective/ Podcasts/ Episodes
Terry Slattery and Rob Widmer played a significant role in the creation of the Cisco CLI, which has been the industry standard for networking CLIs ever since. In this History of Networking episode we talk to Terry and Rob about the history of how the Cisco CLI came to be and get the story on how the decisions were made that made the CLI what it is today.

For those who like to use Wireshark captures in classes, there is a very good capture repository at: http://packetlife.net/captures/
Students can easily view capture files on the browser (via Cloudshark) without having to install Wireshark. It is very fast and there are many captures about most of the CCNA & CCNP subjects. Also it's a good choice for those using a lab with polices not allowing Wireshark installation.

Maarten Druwe of Cisco Systems explaining Collaboration tools
On 19 December 2018 a group of members from BiASC were invited at the Cisco BeLux office in Diegem to learn the ins and outs of online collaboration. Frank, Maarten and Rudy of Cisco BeLux thoroughly demonstrated the use of online collaboration tools to a group of about 15 academy trainers, allowing participants to ask all the questions about new communication tools and methods. Demonstrations of Collaboration Systems need restricted groups of about 15 participants.
Webex Teams and Webex Meet are very well designed with open standards and are quite user friendly. If you like to experiment with Webex just send a message to <yvan@biasc.be>. Education prices are free for students and one euro per academy user (teachers, manangement, admin staff).
To start using all the possibilities a "presenter" needs a decent introduction. "Participating" in online collaboration is easy, just press "Join".

=> Members of BiASC who are interested in a deep-dive demonstration please contact <yvan@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.
Documentation: https://github.com/mininet/mininet/wiki/Documentation

If you teach self-paced courses, you can now create a course enrollment page and students can automatically enroll into the course. No longer do you need to manually add them to the course, or provide students Seat Tokens.
New functionality is available that allows you to set up the enrollment page directly. After promoting the enrollment URL, students can enter their name and email address directly into a short form and then are automatically added to the course roster where they can immediately launch the self-paced course. You will still need to monitor any questions within the course as usual, but assessments and certificates are also automated. The Self-Enroll functionality is available for specific courses listed below and in the 7 supported languages, specifically Arabic, Chinese-Simplified, English, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.
Courses Offering Self-Enroll
Introduction to IoT
Introduction to the Internet of Everything
Packet Tracer 101
Packet Tracer 101 Mobile
Introduction to Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity Essentials
Get Connected
Entrepreneurship
To find out how to set up the Self-Enroll page and the best practices for ongoing management of the self-paced courses, see the FAQ.

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.
