Adaption and Improvement of an Industry-Developed IP Telephony Curriculum
Adaption and Improvement of an Industry-Developed IP Telephony Curriculum

Summary/Abstract: Conceptual understanding of IP networks is one foundation required for a dedicated career in technology. This does not only include deep knowledge of the underlying technology: also hands-on-skills, further skills like problem solving, collaboration and critical thinking are real-world requirements. Designing network-related courses for students that include these skills is usually difficult to achieve. In 2005 Cisco Systems announced a new IP Telephony curriculum for the Cisco Networking Academies and hosted pilot-trainings all over the world. Due to the fact that no industry-recognized certificate was associated with the course the industry demand was quite low. Unfortunately Cisco Systems cancelled the development of the course one year later but made the training materials available to the Cisco Networking Academy community. At this point academies all over the world start to improve and enhance these materials.
