...sectors), to maintain their competitive edge and to pursue ‘continued learning’. This may include both formal education and job-specific training and development, re-training and upskilling. The Higher Education and Training Awarding Council describes learning as ‘a process by which a sustainable change in a learner’s knowledge, skill or competence occurs as a result of experience (of phenomena)’ (HETAC, 2009). The phenomena could include such things as lectures, lecture notes, power point presentations, and graphics etc. (CMIT, 2015). It is argued that passive observation of such ‘phenomena’ does not necessarily constitute learning, as it is possible to sit through an entire lecture that includes, handouts, visuals and up front lecturing and learn nothing. In order to effectively learn, a learner must ‘through a process involving linking, modifying existing knowledge and with skill and competency…construct a ‘cognitive’ representation from the phenomena’ (CMIT, 2015, p.5). O’Carroll (2012) further develops this idea by suggesting that learning occurs when there is a permanent change in behaviour as a result of the phenomena. For the purposes of this assignment it is necessary to firstly have a basic understanding of some learning principles and theories, before trying to differentiate between the concepts of learning, training and development and education. In 1975, David Kolb, identified what he called experiential learning. He proposed that all effective learning is achieved...

...CMIT 350 WAN and SOHO Skills Implementation Prepared for: University of Maryland University College CMIT 250 Prepared by: Devin Manning I. Site “Los Angeles” Challenge and Implementation The site administrator has requested that the site establishes remote IOS storage, remote management of switches, ACL list implementation, and a network time protocol for devices as described in the site specific portion of the scenario. II. Site Solutions and Technologies * The recommended course of action for the request of a remote IOS storage capability at the site would be to establish a remote access server using a HTTP/ HTTPS protocol as opposed to the SSH option mainly because of the security and control over things such as the internet connection to the routers from not only the user database, but the source addresses as well in regards to their perspectives. This particular protocol also requires the timing information to be in setup and in place which would complement the network time protocol solution that has been requested by the site. For this request, I would use the SonicWall software in order to setup up this capability along with the SonicWall UTM appliance that is provided by the company. * In order to address the remote management of the switches request, it would require a console cable and a server that has an available console port such as the Cisco Nexus 2228TP GE Fabric Extender expansion module which is one of the easier servers to use that...

...Organizing for the Airbus A3XX The market for commercial aircraft larger than the Boeing 747-400 is driven by the growth of the airline market generally, flight congestion at major airports, increased cost pressure on airlines, and demand for more environmentally-friendly aircraft. Many of these factors presuppose improved technology, superior design, new manufacturing processes and better supplier collaboration. To minimize weight and fuel costs, for example, the A3XX will incorporate a range of advanced materials such as carbon fiber reinforced plastics and a new aluminum and fiberglass laminate called "Glare." The design and implementation of such advanced materials necessitates close coordination with a wider range of suppliers. It also means that some elements will have to be outsourced to suppliers that possess deep expertise in particular areas and requires creative thinking on the part of such suppliers about how the expertise of secondary suppliers might be exploited to meet specifications and requirements. The wiring of the new aircraft will also be quite complex, consisting of nearly 100,000 wires bundled into 530km of cables held by 40,000 connectors. The design of the aircraft necessitates a switch from copper to aluminum wiring, the latter requiring a larger bend radius that could make it more difficult to maneuver around corners within an aircraft and could entail rerouting of some harnesses. Manufacturing and design of the A3XX will be spread across 85 countries...
