As the instructor, I attended a one-week Cisco Academy to gain knowledge required to develop the course. I also worked with a Middlesex Cisco-certified instructor to use the Cisco content to design labs and assignments. This instructor, who previously taught Networking I at MCC, shared his syllabus and content. In addition, he evaluated the structure of my class and provided feedback that I incorporated. Finally, I worked with the MCC Instructional Technologist to develop the online portion of the class. She helped with the Quality Matters portion and making the online part of the class engaging and accessible.
