    SecAI+: Have we discussed this yet?

    It seems to be a lower level of cyber than I would have expected, but perhaps this is appropriate and the exam will mature over time. It also seems to have a lot of generic AI content that is not specific to cyber. I would have expected that content to reside in a foundational AI exam, not an AI...

    SecAI+: Have we discussed this yet?

    I didn't see a forum for this cert yet, so posting here instead. CompTIA has posted pre-draft objectives for a new cert: CompTIA SecAI+. Anyone seen these yet? Thoughts? I'm definitely interested and looking forward to this one...

    Partner Summit 2025??

    ChannelCon has reappeared on the GTIA event list, and is still listed as occurring in Nashville at the Gaylord Opryland. Scroll to the bottom here: https://gtia.org/events/ Interesting to see that ChannelCon remains with the not-for-profit org, GTIA.

    Partner Summit 2025??

    Agh...just when I was so excited to have it at Opryland in Nashville, and have an excuse to stay there after visiting just to walk through so many times since I was a teen, and now they have to go and move it already. But...at least there's hope it will still happen!

    Printed courseware is gone, but what about the PDFs?

    Many (most?) academic institutions never left that route to begin with. Many of the materials CompTIA bought as the seed for their training materials were originally designed for boot camps, not academia. Although they've made some improvements, the roots are still evident in the design of the...

    Troubleshooting?

    They removed the troubleshooting methodology from the latest Cloud+. They said it's because you really can't have a rigid set of steps and there needs to be more room for flexibility, critical thinking, and intuition.

    Slide Decks More Effective

    One thing someone suggested to me one time is not to ask this question as a closed-ended question. It's really easy for students to mentally go, "Nope, no questions." And that's the end of it. Instead, try asking it as an open-ended question: "What questions do you have?" This has actually...

    Partner Summit 2025??

    The links I had for the Partner Summit this summer no longer work. Any information on whether this event will still happen? I'm going to be very sad if it disappears!

    What prevents our students from completing their goals

    Over-caffeination could also be added to the list. Can't tell you the number of times I've had students come in amped up on energy drinks with little to no sleep, and they simply can't learn well that way. (To be fair, many of the ones doing this are doing the best they can--they work night...

    Advanced degrees

    Oh weird--somehow I remembered that hubby graduated under the old name, and I graduated under the new name. Hrm. Now I have to go back and check documentation to see what it was that changed, lol. 🤯 🤣 Our undergraduate school had a bit of a change in the year between our graduations, too--we...

    Advanced degrees

    When were you there? We moved to Memphis in '96, left in '02. Both got our masters' at U of M (well, it was still "Memphis State" when hubby graduated in 2000, then it was "Univ of Memphis" when I graduated a year later, lol).
