CZ&SK NetAcad Conference 2007

During the last week I was again presenting on the CZ&SK NetAcad Conference 2007 our experiences with teaching IP Telephony with NetAcad IPT materials. The presentation was great (at least I hope it was :)). Maybe the most important part of my presentation was the summary of feedbacks that we've got from our students on IPT trainings. I will just briefly mention some of most wanted things that we should include in our training on IPT:

• Transformation of IPT(x) into independent course like the FWL
  • Unfortunately not yet, not in this year and not even in the next year :(
• SIP
  • CCME supports SIP trunk and from CCME 4.0 it also supports SIP endpoints registration
• Unity Express
  • This is important if you want to do the IPTX certification exam
• IP IVR
  • It's just nice :)
• IPT(x) as a multimedia course
  • There is a flash based animated course for Cisco partners - contact partners
• Theoretical tests
  • yes, students want exams :)
• H323 Gatekeepers
  • Include labs with H323 gateways - maybe you will need an IOS upgrade (check Feature Navigator)
• IP2IP gateways, SBC
  • More advanced topics - not really recommended to teach
• Security
  • Maybe some informational stuff about secure signaling and srtp. IPSEC between gateways, ...

At the end I invited people to join to our VoIP NetAcad Working Group. Because we are more powerful together then we ever could be apart!

If you have your own experiences with teaching IPT, please drop here some lines.

I attached my presentation to this post, so you can download it from below. Guys from The Computer Networks Laboratory have done good work with recording the presentation and publishing them on videoserver.cnl.tuke.sk. Video of my presentation is available here.
