Cisco Systems CCNA 2 manual Welcome, Student-Centered, Instructor-Facilitated

I. Welcome

Welcome to the CCNA 2 version 3.1 Instructor Guide. Cisco Worldwide Education (WWE) has developed this guide to provide a helpful resource for instructors. This introduction will emphasize four themes:

•Student-centered, instructor-facilitated model

•One size does not fit all

•Hands-on, skills-based learning

•Global community of educators

Student-Centered, Instructor-Facilitated

The CCNA curriculum has not been designed as a standalone e-learning or distance-learning course. The teaching and learning model of the Cisco Networking Academy® Program is based on instructor facilitation. The Learner Model: Academy Student diagram shows the emphasis that WWE puts on the learner. The model begins with the prior knowledge of students. The instructor guides learning events, which are built from a variety of resources, to help the students achieve their desired comprehension of networking.
