Troubleshooting Tips for Data CommunicationsLiving Online
Communications problems range from simple wiring problems to intermittent transfer of protocol messages. The communications system on your plant underpins your entire operation. It is critical that you have the knowledge and tools to quickly identify and fix problems as they occur, to ensure you have a secure system. No compromise is possible here. This manual distills all the tips and tricks learnt with the benefit of many years of experience. It offers a common approach covering all of the sections with each standard/protocol having the following structure: o Quick overview of the standard o Common problems and faults with this standard o Description of tools used Each of the typical faults are then discussed in depth with details on fixing them.

User Experience (UX) theory and practice can be confusing for the uninitiated. This talk outlines a set of UX Axioms designers and developers alike can use to integrate UX into their practice. Erik shares hard-won lessons learned from practicing UX in the real world for over 10 years. Building real products and services involves an ongoing series of design compromises. There is no ideal process or magic bullet for integrating UX or creating amazing user experiences. However, understanding and applying UX Axioms will allow you to adapt to the situation at hand and build products that resonate with and delight your end-users.

The Ultimate Roadmap For CompTIA Training & CertificationsCalvin Sam
CompTIA is considered one of the leading organizations globally for its technical and cybersecurity certifications. CompTIA certifications are vendor-neutral and are designed to build and validate your teams’ skill sets as per their job roles and help them advance their career path by staying updated with the latest technology, increasing their efficiency, and securing your organization’s security stance.
Obtaining industry-recognized certifications will increase your team’s credibility and establish them as skilled IT professionals. To succeed in an IT job, it is important to keep up with the ever-changing IT industry by upskilling your teams with the best certifications.
CompTIA is the leading training destination for tech-driven teams and tech-engaged organizations. More than 2.5 million CompTIA certifications have been issued in cybersecurity, networking, cloud computing, and technical assistance.
The NICE framework is published by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It provides a common ground for organizations in the public, private, and academic sectors to define professional cybersecurity work requirements. Many CompTIA certifications are mapped to the NIST/NICE frameworks. These certifications are beneficial to government employees to verify their cyber knowledge and skills while fulfilling government directives like FISMA and DoD 8570/8140. Let us explore the advantages of upskilling your IT teams with CompTIA training and certifications.

EMEA10: Trepidation in Moving to the CloudCompTIA UK
Today’s buzz centres on cloud computing. What is it exactly? Will it dent your revenues or does it have potential to add capabilities to your business? How do you deliver value when you don’t “install” anything? Learn how to use this new approach to delivering IT services in your business, what to consider and where it makes sense – and where it doesn’t! Dave Sobel, CEO of Evolve Technologies, talks to you about how to develop cloud offerings and how you position your business for growth around online services. Strategies come from real life experience, industry data, and collaboration with other solution providers to give you the best way to take on the big, bad cloud.

EMEA10: Commercial certification in Further and Higher Education (developing ...CompTIA UK
Over the last ten years, across the UK, innovative Schools, Colleges and Universities have worked with CompTIA amongst other vendors to offer commercially recognised certification and industry desired skills as part of their national qualifications and degrees.
The seminar is an exploration of the depth of what our national educators are able to offer and how employers can utilise this resource for the development of their workforce. With the demand for information technology skills forever present, this seminar is an exploration of how employers small and large can utilise a range of education programmes to upskill their workforce.
EMEA10: IT Training and Certification: Value to EmployersCompTIA UK
August 2009 saw the launch of a CompTIA research project into the value of IT Training and Certification looking at into the insights and opportunities associated with the billions of pounds that go into IT training and certification each year. With lots of buzz and demand from our members for a more specific EMEA study, CompTIA’s Vice President of Research, Tim Herbert, will present the findings of the brand new study into the value of IT Training and Certification to employers.

EMEA10: Practice Makes Perfect - Bringing Experiential Learning to LifeCompTIA UK
Experiential Learning is teaching “action” not information. Today’s “new frontier” requires fresh approaches to develop agile-thinking, workforce-ready graduates.
Among these approaches is “experiential learning,” hands-on personalized practice with live Internet-based systems and scenario-based virtual worlds. These remote laboratory-based learning solutions can bridge the gap between education and experience in such fast-growing fields as IT, healthcare technology and business consulting.
State-of-the-art experiential learning solutions offer a “technology apprenticeship” for students seeking real-world experience while still in school, making a career change or looking to upgrade their IT skills. As students gain practical skills in an authentic and safe learning environment, their current or future employer’s can focus on their core competencies and avoid the distractions of setting-up complex experiential learning development and delivery infrastructures.
From an instructional perspective, live practice closes the kinesthetic learning loop, thus enhancing cognitive encoding and improving skills retention. In this session, we will explore the power of experiential learning from three delivery platforms:
* Web-based Student Desktops – fully functional WindowsTM desktops built specifically for each student. This “electronic locker” includes all of the software applications, lab tools, and central storage required for a given course or an entire degree program.
* Technology LiveLabs – are remote hands-on laboratories with live equipment via a web-based anytime, anywhere interface for Cisco and Microsoft technologies.
* Immersive Environments – “day-in-the-life” experiences that combine the instructional power of LiveLabs with the engaging authenticity of virtual worlds filled with virtual characters.
Come and discover our take on “Experiential Learning” with Information Technology and visualize your students/employees career potential and how Toolwire could transform their performance.
