Learning How to Use Networking Hardware Online

Many students find it dificult to learn how to use networking hardware such as a router or a switch or making a patch cable without hands on experience. I would like to know how online instructors overcome online learning (competencies) difficulties that may exist if the student is denied (lacks) hands-on experiences.

Job Announcements

Job announcements do not appear to be reflecting the points made in this course of instruction. For example, adaptive is used as follows: Working Conditions: Mental Demands/Physical Demands/Environmental Factors: Move small stacks of textbooks, media equipment, desks, and other classroom or adaptive equipment. In other words, being able to implement adaptive learning is not part of the job -- it is not a topic for consideration.

Other Than Online

The use of virtualization should be considered for more than online courses. Needs for which there is not a real or synchronous opportunity can be met using virualization. For example, student teaching can be role played using Second Life(secondlife.com). Such role playing should be facilitated by the instructor providing purposeful structure less the student game their way through the experience.
