Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Lectures will cover the relevant principles (LO 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). The module will also be supported by online materials. These will be based on CISCO materials. Students will work through the online and practical materials at their own pace during lab sessions (LO 1, 3, 4, 5, 6). Staff will provide support during lab time
|
There will be weekly formative challenges during the practicals, and continuous feedback given by staff through discussions in the labs.These challenges include tasks based on the standard network diagnostic utilities common in most operating systems but also more specialist tools e.g. packet capture and protocol analysis.Network planning and configuration exercises are completed via network emulation which provides students with many separate challenges. Students can get automatic feedback on which configuration items within the network topology they have yet to complete.The opportunity to use physical hardware for one practical lab is arranged separately from timetabled practicals.Students have access to Cisco on-line teaching materials and these interactive elements and quizzes encourage students to test their understanding continuously.Practice test questions are available with immediate, automated feedback prior to the assessed tests.
|
Assessment is via class tests composed of short answer questions (LO 1, 2, 3, 4). These will be of similar scope and nature to the CISCO examinations, but will be set to meet the requirements of the modules’ LOs. The second class test (60%) has a practical configuration element which integrates the teaching material with the lab experience (LO 4, 5, 6).
