Identifying Pre-Requisite Knowledge Requirements

As I was reading through the Cloud+ 003 textbook, I saw this little statement:

IP address allocation via DHCP is assumed knowledge for CompTIA Cloud+. Please review the process if you are not familiar with it. A very brief review is provided below.

Now, we all know that certain certifications represent pre-requisite knowledge that a person has to have when attaining higher certs; that's why the suggested core path is A+, Net+, Sec+, etc. Each cert builds skills into the next. Now, we also know that there is a fair bit of overlap as well - with some topics discussed in many different certs.

But, when I saw the above statement, I nodded in approval, because this is something I had wished we'd see more of in CompTIA materials - indicators that I may have to step outside the certs objective list to understand something in order to buttress up a topic - that points to another cert's body of knowledge, or something like that. To me, this makes learning more efficient because it helps with those age-old statements like, "yes, for the security+, you need to have a mastery of ports and protocols - which is germane to the network+"

I would even go so far as to make this its own category - "Stuff You Should Already Know" or "Assumed Knowledge".

Perhaps this is assumed when you review CompTIA's certifications roadmap. But little sign posts along the way, to me, are extremely helpful.

ReadAloud: Browser Screen Reader that works for CertMaster Learn eBooks

So yesterday, during the TTT session, I mentioned it would be nice to incorporate screen reader functionality into the eBook reader.

Since I have keratoconus, my vision isn't always up to 20/20 standards - in fact, without my lenses, I see about seven of everything. So while my lenses make it easy for me to see, they are two rather large pieces of plastic on my eyeballs, which do make me look like a Colorado resident with the red-eye thing going, not to mention constant irritation and the occasional headache. And, given that I am more of an audio style learner, I prefer to listen to my books, and read along with my eyes secondarily.

I often try screen readers for the sight impaired and found that ReadAloud does a great job inside the CertMaster environment for reading the text. I've not tried it yet in other areas of Learn, but I will.

I hope this little tidbit helps someone out there, who, like me, struggles to read things visually.

Happy Friday, my Friends.
