Problems in Teaching Computer
Network Knowledges
Partly similar to other areas of
computer technology
Technical terms are not uniformly used
Computer technology is too young
Different firms use different terms
Terms change from time to time
A firm collects some old and some new ideas
and creates a product family using a common
name

Administrative difficulties
Curricula change too often
At the moment we have students studying
by curricula K, B and C as well.
In curriculum C the order of network-related
subjects is different for full-time and parttime students
Exception: Computer Networks special
professional training program
We did not change the curriculum,
concentrated on the contents development

Lectures
Practices on simulation programs
Laboratory practices or real devices

First of all for individual studying

World-wide network of academies
Excellent e-learning material
Made by a lot of leading experts
May be used only for Cisco courses
We collected experiences in using it
Very good example

Creating questions for tests
Very difficult
Cisco Academy questions are excellent,
but not perfect
Sometimes answers are unambigous only
for those who read the material
Hungarian translations are not always
perfect
It can be easier to take the exam in English
