Cislo Networking Academy

The Cisco Networking Academy Program (Netacad) is a revolutionary - innovative - model partnership between the private and public spheres. These include Cisco Systems, educational institutions, state administration institutions and the business world. The goal of the program is to contribute to the professional training of specialists for the needs of building an information society.

Part of Netacad is a system supporting e-learning oriented education. This makes it possible to acquire knowledge about network and ICT technologies, currently more and more needed for building a global economy, in a highly efficient manner.

Thanks to the combination of several components, which as a whole form a study support system, Netacad effectively replaces the classical form of education:

• online study and access to multimedia study material (curriculum) via a portal on the Internet (24x7)
• a continuous knowledge testing system to support the process of evaluating the success of learning the content, the mode of making the tests available is controlled by the lecturer and students are allowed access at a given time via the Internet
• practical exercises in the laboratory on real devices simulating traffic in networks in order to gain practical experience in the configuration, installation, maintenance of network elements, as well as the design proposal for network solutions
• individual or group consultations during the course of study with the aim of creating space for evaluating the success of the study
• the final test, which represents a comprehensive verification of knowledge of the subject, successfully completed studies can be extended by the globally accepted certification exams of Cisco

Systems

The whole enables a student's individual approach to the acquisition of knowledge, practical experience and supports his all-round preparation for the use of knowledge in practice.

The program and its success are proof of how a functioning e-learning strategy can be implemented into currently existing forms of education with the aim of providing highly attractive content and form of study to educational institutions in the Czech Republic.
