Today’s students have different goals, different life experiences, and different
academic backgrounds, but they are all on the same path to success in
the real world. This diversity, coupled with the reality that these learners
often have jobs, families, and other commitments, requires a fl exibility that
our nation’s higher education system is addressing. Distance learning,
shorter course terms, new disciplines, evening courses, and certifi cation
programs are some of the approaches that colleges employ to reach as many
students as possible and help them clarify and achieve their goals.
The second edition of Networking Basics offers specially designed
suite of services and content, which helps address this diversity and the
need for fl exibility. Networking Basics, Second Edition content puts a focus
on the fundamentals to help students grasp the subject, bringing them all to
the same basic understanding. Content from Networking Basics, Second
Edition has an emphasis on teaching job-related skills and practical applications
of concepts with clear and professional language. The core competencies
and skills help students succeed in the classroom and beyond, whether
in another course or in a professional setting. A variety of built-in learning
resources allow the students to practice what they need to perform and help
instructors and students gauge students’ understanding of the content. These
resources enable students to think critically about their new knowledge and
apply their skills in any situation.
Our goal with the second edition of Networking Basics is to celebrate
the many students in your courses, respect their needs, and help you guide
them on their way.
