Cisco Collaboration for Education - Classroom of the Future - 19 Dec 2018

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".

Mininet - An Instant Virtual Network on your Laptop

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.

Self-Enrollment for Networking Academy Students

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

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 – Multiboot USB Creator

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.
