Face-To-Face
Term used to describe the traditional classroom environment where the students and the lecturer meet synchronously in the same room for the whole provision.
Blended
A mode of delivery of a module or a programme that involves online and face-to-face delivery of learning, teaching and assessment activities, student support and feedback. A programme may be considered “blended” if it includes a combination of face-to-face, online and blended modules. If an online programme has any compulsory face-to-face and campus elements it must be described as blended with clearly articulated delivery information to manage student expectations
Fully Online
Instruction that is solely delivered by web-based or internet-based technologies. This term is used to describe the previously used terms distance learning and e learning.
HybridC
Online with mandatory face-to-face learning on Campus
HybridO
Online with optional face-to-face learning on Campus
Work-based Learning
Learning activities where the main location for the learning experience is in the workplace.

| Learning and Teaching |
|---|
| Lectures are used to put across the most important points of the theory and concepts of computer networking. Practical laboratory sessions allow students to practice design, implementation and testing of networks. Cisco Networking Academy materials provide an online resource, including formative assessments and simulations, which can be used both during and outside classroom hours |
Learning Activities
During completion of this module, the learning activities undertaken to
achieve the module learning outcomes are stated below:
| Student Learning Hours
(Normally totalling 200 hours):
(Note: Learning hours include both contact hours and hours spent on other learning activities) |
| Lecture/Core Content Delivery | 20 |
| Laboratory/Practical Demonstration/Workshop | 28 |
| Independent Study | 152 |
| 200
Hours Total
|
|
**Indicative Resources: (eg. Core text, journals, internet
access)
|
|---|
The following materials form essential underpinning for the module content
and ultimately for the learning outcomes:
Cisco's online curriculum at https://www.netacad.com/
Access to a networking lab with equipment supporting the latest version of the CCNA curriculum
Software: Packet tracer, VirtualBox, Wireshark, Putty
|
|
(**N.B. Although reading lists should include current publications,
students are advised (particularly for material marked with an asterisk*) to
wait until the start of session for confirmation of the most up-to-date
material)
|
| Engagement Requirements |
|---|
In line with the Academic Engagement Procedure, Students are defined as academically engaged if they are regularly engaged with timetabled teaching sessions, course-related learning resources including those in the Library and on the relevant learning platform, and complete assessments and submit these on time. Please refer to the Academic Engagement Procedure at the following link: Academic engagement procedure
Where a module has Professional, Statutory or Regulatory Body requirements these will be listed here:
Attendance and participation in at least 75% of classes

| Assessment: (also refer to Assessment Outcomes Grids below) |
|---|
| A timed computer-based online test (worth 50% of the module marks) will test student knowledge of the concepts and knowledge. This will normally be that provided through the Cisco Networking Academy. A number of formative chapter-focussed online tests will prepare the student for this assessment |
| A timed lab-based skills assessment (worth 50% of the module marks) will test student skills and applied knowledge of network configuration. |
(N.B. (i) Assessment Outcomes Grids for the module
(one for each component) can be found below which clearly demonstrate how the learning outcomes of the module
will be assessed.
(ii) An indicative schedule listing approximate times
within the academic calendar when assessment is likely to feature will be
provided within the Student Handbook.)

Note(s):
- More than one assessment method can be used to assess individual learning outcomes.
-
Schools are responsible for determining student contact hours. Please refer to University Policy on contact hours (extract contained within section 10 of the Module Descriptor guidance note).
This will normally be variable across Schools, dependent on Programmes &/or Professional requirements.

| Equality and Diversity |
|---|
The University policies on equality and diversity will apply to this module. In order for the student to complete this module the student will be required to take part in laboratory and computer-based exercises, including both computer-based and laboratory-based assessments. Students with substantial physical impairments or visual or auditory handicaps should be assessed and counseled prior to selecting courses requiring this module. When a student discloses a disability a special needs advisor will - after consulting with the module coordinator - agree the appropriate adjustments to be made.
