Courseware Quality... is it only me seeing it getting worse?

D
Yes just saying Twitter is out of date. Yes, something a reviewer or author should have caught. When I review books I watch for detail errors. And submit a number of errors. Too many reviewers just say it looks ok. When I wrote a textbook a few years ago all three reviewers said looks great. There was an error on teh first page.

X may be real name, but notice almost all refer to as "X formerly Twitter".

page 1062: As another example, a person might want to use both Google Apps and Twitter. If Google and Twitter establish a federated network for the purpose of authentication and authorization

No, i does not say: X...
That makes it worse. It newer says once: X, formerly Twitter.
It always use: Twitter.
That is a sign for a poorly Review Process.
And in 2026, 3 years to not make it really need to refer it back..

Courseware Quality... is it only me seeing it getting worse?

Michael Schmitz
I just go through the CySA V4 Slides, again after the TTT,
but dear, are they getting bad..
Graphics that in that size are unreadable, lot of information that is wrong or outdated.
Like WSUS at some point.
Ebook is even worse..
It still says: Twitter (since 2023 is it X).
No Chapter Numbering in the Index.
And then often this:

Examine a Forensic Drive Image with Autopsy
For guidance in using interactives in Heretto, refer to the Style Guide Documentation Heretto for Video.

and it says: 6604 Pages...
( i do not list all my findings here)

I start to update and correct the Slides now, and will improve then maybe later again,
but as they are ootb: not good..

It is not only CompTIA, but the AI Generated Content is really worse for Courseware Content.

Courseware expiry date

S
f you are an authorized CompTIA instructor and need to extend a student’s courseware expiry date in CertMaster, you can do so through the platform’s class management tools.

1. Log in to CertMaster
Access your CompTIA CertMaster account with your instructor credentials. This is the main interface for managing classes, students, and courseware.

2. Open the relevant class
Go to the Classes section and select the class containing the student whose courseware expiry you want to extend. If you are using LMS integration, classes may be auto-created; otherwise, you can create them manually help.comptia.org.

3. Locate the student’s progress
In the class view, you can see each student’s progress and associated courseware. Identify the student whose due date needs to be extended.

4. Edit the class end date (if applicable)
If the courseware expiry is tied to the class’s end date, you can adjust it in the class settings. In the Edit Class menu, update the End Date to a later date. This will automatically extend the courseware expiry for enrolled students help.comptia.org.

5. Use the “Clear Student Progress” option (if needed)
If the courseware is tied to a specific student’s progress and you want to reset or extend it, you can use the Clear Student Progress feature. This removes the expiry lock and allows the student to continue learning until you reapply the expiry date help.comptia.org.

6. Save and confirm changes
After making the adjustment, save the changes. The updated expiry date will be reflected in the student’s account.

CIN Sneak Peek DataSys+ V2

Stephen Schneiter
Join us for a Sneak Peek of the new version of CompTIA DataSys+ V2 certification! @James Stanger and @Stephen.Patton will join us as they introduce the updated certification exam, talk about the need for these job skills and take a deeper look into the exam objectives.

CompTIA DataSys+ is a vendor-neutral certification designed for professionals with approximately 2–3 years of hands-on experience in database administration. The updated DataSys+ V2 validates the knowledge and skills required to design, deploy, manage and maintain databases across on-premises, cloud and hybrid environments. It ensures candidates can work with relational and non-relational databases, develop and run SQL and basic scripts, monitor performance, and implement security and business continuity best practices.

DataSys+ V2 expands beyond traditional DBA responsibilities to cover data acquisition and integration, scripting and programming concepts, and the impact of ORMs and application code on database performance. The exam tests the ability to secure data at rest and in transit, apply encryption and key management, implement identity and access management (IAM) and Zero Trust concepts, and support backup, restore, disaster recovery and high availability.
