Let me provide a little detail via some notes I've taken that begin to outline what will be the focus of the article: Email to Emporia: I'm planning to do an article that focuses on Emporia device security. A bit more practical, there will be no surprise conclusions but I do think those overly...

The Spring semester is history (grades in) and I'm scaling back from teaching, slipping into retirement. But as most of you know, I'm not very good at doing nothing. Below are the links for the first two articles in a series of articles that I think would ultimately lead to a series of labs that...

Sort of, with the placement of Professor Messer videos, but it relates to the old course (220-1001 and 1002). But that is something I may work on this summer as I get bored. Send me an email at [email protected] and I'll get you what I currently have and get your thoughts on whether an update...

I refuse to answer, as it might give away my age.

Rick, loved this: It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.” - Sherlock Holmes As noted in the article I wrote, "... enabled me to make data-driven decisions relating to energy use and...

Too bad the HTI+ (Home Technology Integrator) certification is no longer available. See: https://www.emporiaenergy.com/blog/managing-electrical-energy-costs-with-tou-limitations

I think I've said it a number of times, but the three-year cycle we face with ANSI accredited CompTIA exams, coupled with the rapid changes in technology, has resulted in a reduction of technical textbooks and lab choices that are available. Think about it from an author or publisher's...

"(ISC)² has created an entry-level cybersecurity certification – a first step through which we can attract and develop diverse talent to round out the cybersecurity teams of the future, including students, recent college graduates and career changers. This is a major shift for (ISC)² and for the...

The article that I mentioned in the first posting in this forum string was finally published on Certification Magazine's website. You can view it by clicking HERE. Great to get my student and co-author recognition (see below): Helena Trukki is a National University student pursuing an...

For those who don't know Allen, he is Mr. CyberPatriot (or should I say, Commander CyberPatriot). Allen is a retired Naval Officer, teaching in Orange County just North of me. If you go through the history of CyberPatriot finals competition, his teams are always placing at (or sometimes near)...

Having written and served as the initial $1M grant-funded cybersecurity apprenticeship as its principal investigator (I'm still involved with as a volunteer), these efforts are not without challenges. Principle among these is obtaining success relative to employer engagement. It is not an easy...

With the new content, I'm finding that connecting the Student Guide content with the available virtual labs to be an easy task, with some relatively minor additional work utilizing the Presentation Guide that can be adjusted to the course length (in my case typically a 13 to 18 week semester)...

The one thing that suggests a "non-three year" path is the ITF+, like the Server+, is not ANSI accredited. The listed certifications shown on the link are ANSI accredited and on the three-year cycle.

Hands-on needs to be relevant. In high school, my favorite class was auto shop. Today as I gaze under the hood of my plug-in hybrid vehicle, I know the best thing I can do is close the hood as quickly as possible. Back in a time, before the turn of the century, like gas stations, there were...

This has been a challenging question and one that raises a side issue. That is should the A+ certification be structured in a two-exam format? As we all know, this is the only CompTIA certification that requires passing two exams in order to become certified. That made sense, back in the day...
