Networking Courses and Training Materials University of Exeter John Buckett The primary aim of the project is to increase the provision of networking courses and associated training materials to the UK academic community. Three courses have been produced which are given by Computer Unit staff at Exeter University. These courses provide places to the academic community at a fraction of the cost of comparable commercially-run courses and also concentrate on networking in a specifically academic environment. All courses include a large practical element. The three courses are: 'Novell Netware on Campus'; The course covers how to setup and run a service on a server running Netware version 3.12. The training materials and a 'Training the Trainers' pack are available via anonymous ftp (from flair.ex.ac.uk). This enables computer centre staff to offer a similar course at their home site. 'Introduction to Data Communications and Networking'; This course provides a straightforward introduction to data communications for those with no previous experience of the subject. It covers basic concepts such as parallel and serial communications, and also includes X.25, Ethernet, and TCP/IP. It is accompanied by a tutorial book which will also be available as a self teaching guide. 'TCP/IP on Campus PCs' ; This course covers the theory of the TCP/IP protocols in more detail and includes the detailed setting up of several TCP/IP products on PC's, including PC-NFS, Lan WorkPlace, Beame and Whiteside, and Windows for Workgroups. The tutorial book will be made generally available when completed. -- Ian L C Campbell, Information Technology Services The University, Exeter, Devon, EX4 4QE, UK Phone +44 392 263955 FAX +44 392 211630 -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Brian ShieldsDate: Thu, 30 Mar 1995 _______________________________________________________________________ | | | In general the copyright for material on the NISS Bulletin Board | | is held by the CHEST & NISS Centre (University of Bath) or by the | | authors. | | | | Copying or reproduction of the material is permitted provided that | | | | (a) the source is acknowledged | | and (b) the material is not used for commercial gain. | | | | However, material must not be made available outside the academic | | community without prior consent. | |_______________________________________________________________________|
