Hi Everyone

All the slides used for the Network+ TTT Series are the same ones provided by CompTIA, However the only exception is the slides I added with additional questions or games.

thanks. Missed that one.. then: cool.

Since i already had an Testout Account from before, i did not see the: Request Instructor Access.

Also, i like the Certmaster System more then Testout... but thats me.

Both of them are good for pratices

@Stephen Schneiter that you for clear explanation.

We are allowed to modify the slides and enhance them?

Hello Peter, You make a solid point. Producing a presentation ahead of the launch creates a challenge doesn't it? Much effort is required for including pictures and graphics for commercial use, including permissions and that the platforms used to create same are commercially licensed. CompTIA's reach is global, which includes compliance with a variety of laws.

However the primary purpose of slides is in classroom use. Since these aren't intended for marketing or as the primary means of teaching, I can see value in simplicity. They are used to enhance my hands-on and experience-sharing. My students like them as a study guide for the keywords, concepts and objectives. I encourage use for review after I've taught a subject. I like slides to have just enough information, then if they still don't have a firm grasp of the material, to follow through with more in-depth research and to ask questions in class.

Hi,

thanks for the reply.

Our senses are ~ 85% visual. Presenting dry facts on a slide is not an effective way of learning. Having graphics on a slide is important , becuase of the visual way most people learn.

The argument that graphics might be copyrighted, hence not used isnt valid. CompTIA surely has a vast library of graphics that can be used, or create its own images.

Take a look at other large organizations , such as Microsoft, Cisco, or Amazon, they dont have issues including ample and useful graphics in their trainings.

I am happy to provide examples for you, if needed

Having endless slides with dry facts, or insufficiently explained , (STP for example) isnt productive.

Are you saying we can modify the slides, as needed to add some useful graphics?

I've been modifying slide decks for 24 years. Everything from correcting grammatical mistakes, correcting punctuation, correcting spelling, re-sequencing slides, adding graphics, adding new slides, hiding slides, adding presenter notes, etc

Hi Greg,

Did your reply get cut off?

Some companies explicitly forbid the trainers from modifying their training content in any way. This is why I asked if we are allowed, CompTia as trainers to modify the CompTIA content.

You most ask the consent of the company before you do such.

@davidpapkin From previous discussions in July @Stephen Schneiter and @Rick Butler provided additional responses.

Yes, I agree slides can be dry! @LynW brings up a good point about the use of graphics. CompTIA provides the basic slide deck with the main teaching points. Some folks have commented that there are too many slides. You have the ability to change the slides, add slides, remove slides or edit them as you see fit. You have a starting point and the ability to change the slide deck to meet your teaching style, pacing, and content you want to cover.

I like to add some graphics that work for me, some that I think add context to the text. Others do not; it is a personal choice. Every instructor has a unique style for content delivery.

And to dog pile onto what @LynW and @Stephen Schneiter have said...

I think slides are the tool of the individual - and they have to be tailored to the person using them to deliver the content. Sure, one can use stock or canned slides, but I have ALWAYS preferred to make my own. With slides, too many times, they become the "star of the show", rather than the speaker. No matter how good the slides are, the speaker should always be the center of attention.

I think I might have said something like that, earlier. If I can get away WITHOUT making a slide deck, then I'd rather do that. I think students would rather see live stuff than just a bunch of static statements, bulletized - whether or not we use a nifty background. /r

CompTIA does not require that a trainer seek permission to alter slide decks.
