Sort of Retired

I'm happy to say that all of my fall semester grades are in, and I'm enjoying a workload for this month that is almost nothing. I am teaching a single course in digital forensics that for some unknown reason has only one student, requiring adjustment since a number of the assignments are designed to be done by student groups. For the final project, I've designed a special project that will involve assisting the student by co-authoring an article that relates to identifying available free resources that relate to learning about digital forensics. When done, my plan is to submit it to Certification Magazine for potential publication (I'm a periodic article submitter there). It should be interesting, as we detail resources like:
Digital Forensics Basics Course

And yes @Rick Butler we will be identifying some of the resources you've identified.

Seasons Greetings, CIN!

Just wanted to get out here and wish you, one and all, a most joyous holiday season! However you decide to celebrate or if you do at all, however you do - hopefully you and yours have a great season! Looking forward to a great 2022, with the upcoming TTT sessions!

All the best, y'all!

CIN - Achivements

Just look throught Achivements Section, and i believe some Achivements could use a Link for Helo or a better Explanation..

I struggle with this one:

Settling In: User has Cover Photo:
I uploaded one, but it will not be recognised..

Account Complete:

This is something with the About Section ( under Account Details)

I filled everything out (why is Facebook, Skype a requirement?, so there is a "nothing to read here" In-line)

But it is not activated.

Forum Watcher:

how to recieve this one? Have you to read all postings in all Sub Forums?
Or how will you get that one?

Media Uploader?
Just load any Picture up in the Media Tab?
Or Ressources? Also upload just anything?
Does anyone have an Idea?

Michael


Sorry, this should be moved probably to CIN - Open Forums.

Freelancer and becoming a CompTIA Training Partner

I don`t know, if you read the Registration for the upcoming Pentest TTT:

NEW in 2022! In order to qualify to receive an exam voucher as part of the CIN TTT series you will need to be an active CIN member and a CompTIA training partner. More details will be provided during Session 1 of the series.

Would like to know how to solve that before the Sessions starts.
Anyone done that as a Freelancer yet?

This will be a big change for the TTTs..

CIN TTT Series - PenTest+ PT0-002

Join the CompTIA Instructor Network as we welcome Lee McWhorter who will lead our PenTest+ PT0-002 TTT series. The series will consist of twelve sessions covering the PenTest+ exam domains. Lee will teach the key cybersecurity concepts covered on the exam as well as hands-on activities with key technology tools used by cybersecurity professionals.

We will also discuss instructional strategy for presenting the concepts to students and best practices for implementing a PenTest+ course.

PenTest+ assesses the most up-to-date penetration testing, and vulnerability assessment and management skills necessary to determine the resiliency of the network against attacks. The CompTIA PenTest+ certification exam will verify successful candidates have the knowledge and skills required to:

  • Plan and scope a penetration testing engagement
  • Understand legal and compliance requirements
  • Perform vulnerability scanning and penetration testing using appropriate tools and techniques, and then analyze the results
  • Produce a written report containing proposed remediation techniques, effectively communicate results to the management team, and provide practical recommendations

What: 12-session webinar series
When: Jan. 18 – Mar. 03, 2022
Where: ON24

Pearson login methods changed, warn your students

Morning all!

I just woke up and was greeted by a panicked student on Discord: they learned that, without much prior notice, CompTIA and PearsonVue have changed up their login methods.

-> https://home.pearsonvue.com/Clients/CompTIA.aspx

CompTIA has migrated to single sign-on (SSO) to unify your CompTIA accounts and products under one login. All candidate records will now be accessible through the CompTIA sign on page. Clicking on the "Login" button will take you from Pearson VUE to the new site where your registration process will now begin.
This may surprise a lot of people at the worst possible time.

Having to reset your account and password, just before taking your exam, is going to be a very bad and anxious situation for a lot of people.

What's even worse is that, so far, the password reset functionality is also not working. I have requested a new password multiple times, but no emails show up. And yes, the email address is correct because the "New Account" option tells me that address is taken.

  • Question
Letter Grades for CertMaster Security+ Outcomes

I am completing my first semester using CertMaster Security+ as the basis of our "Information Security Fundamentals" course and need to assign letter grades at the end of the semester based on the results from the Boost Dashboard. This dashboard shows average PBQ, Quiz and Lab scores for each student, as well as the level of proficiency they have achieved in each module.

Has anyone yet mapped this output to appropriate letter grades, A, B, C, D, F?

I am thinking completion with an average across categories >= 90% AND median "Proficient" Proficiency, across all modules is an "A",
< 90% OR median < Proficient = "B".
Completion and >= 80% = "C"
Completion = "D"
and Incomplete = "F"

Any other ideas?

Remote Instructor Needed!! (A+ Cert Course)

Howdy All!,

The Institution that I work for is looking at hosting a month-long or 6-week long A+ Course for Students. We have yet to finalize dates/etc, but were hoping to get a class started in January 10th-ish time frame. The time to train could also be changed around a bit (a 2 week course, etc). We are trying to get this program off the ground so we can start assisting students and adults who want to get certified with CompTia.
We still haven't finalized how many students, or any of that just yet.
Anyone interested please email me at
[email protected]

This will be a remote job, and we utilize Zoom.

Thank you,
Patrick Brown
