It is suitable for readers and students in computer engineering technology, electrical engineering technology, networking technology and telecommunications technology programs, corporations, and government agencies. Linux has become popular over a relatively short period of time. There are literally thousands of programmers who have an active role in developing Linux, with hundreds of ongoing projects using Linux and various hardware for many purposes. This product is a blended educational and training solution that combines a printed text, a lab experience and an online web-based curriculum that can be delivered anytime and anywhere there is an internet connection. Students are provided with ample resource information in the text as well as from the online course. The online course includes hundreds of FLASH animations and graphics that allow a level of engagement not possible by using a text alone. It includes an online component that allows students to take the tests electronically. Once the student completes the exam it is graded; the grades are stored in the instructor's electronic gradebook and the student is provided with a "Personalized Feedback" that leads them to the points missed on the exam. This feature helps students and teachers ensure that the appropriate level of proficiency is reached for each objective.
