This curriculum presents a comprehensive overview of networking; from fundamentals to advanced applications and services. It is based on the top-down approach to networking that is popular in many colleges and universities.

The course emphasizes concepts and skills required to design networks, while providing opportunities for practical application and hands-on experience by teaching students how to install, operate, and maintain networks.

Students will acquire skill through hands on and virtual labs using the Cisco Packet tracer.

How, exactly, is evaluation done? This webinar's focus in on logic models, success indicators, and standards of performance –
the blueprints for an evaluation.

A logic model maps out a project's activities and intended outcomes and impacts. Logic models facilitate the identification of success indicators (measurable information about key aspects of your project) and performance standards (what counts as “acceptable” or “excellent” performance, for example). You’ll leave the webinar with a better understanding of how to create and use these tools to generate a robust and useful evaluation.
