Mode of Delivery / Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods
E-doing is a design philosophy that applies the principle that people learn best by doing: Interactive activities, Labs, Packet Tracer and Assessments.
Interactive activities (“drag and drop” or "checkbox" method) are embedded within the chapters as checks for understanding. Labs are activities that are designed to be performed on physical equipment. In the Networking chapters, you will configure a simple network using Packet Tracer, the Networking Academy network simulation tool. Each chapter in this course has an online quiz and an online Chapter Exam. These are scored automatically, showing you the areas where you excel, as well as any areas where you may want to do some additional study or practice. There is also an online, end-of-course Final exam and Skills exam.
