Spring Greetings,

We hope your spring semester is progressing well and you're looking forward to spring break! Here at IU-Cisco Project we are reaching a critical time in the Study. Many academies are finishing their CCNA3 and CCNA4 courses. During this crucial time we would ask that you remind your students to take their respective surveys. You have been an invaluable part of our team and we thank you for your continued support.

Best,
The IU-Cisco Team


We recently emailed the following E-postcard reminders to current CCNA3 and CCNA4 students.


To take the survey, click on the link entitled CCNA3 STUDENT SURVEY which is located on the right and left navigation bars of your Cisco Student Homepage. 

If the students don’t see this link, they should try back in a few days. As a reminder, the students must be between 50-130% through their respective course.

A simple reminder from you to the students is greatly appreciated and increases participation.
(A screen shot of the CCNA3 Survey is available by clicking the image.)

Thank you for your support!




CCNA1 and CCNA2 Student Surveys - No Longer Available

The CCNA1 and CCNA2 Student Surveys are no longer available on the Cisco Student Homepage. As of mid-March the IU Center for Survey Research will finish processing student information. If you or your CCNA students have questions please let us know.


Findings from The CCNA2 Course

The IU-Cisco Team has been busy reporting findings from the study in a series of reports and White Papers. This CCNA2 White Paper, Engagement in Learning and Student Success: Findings from the CCNA2 Course, is one such report that examines the success of students enrolled in the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) Program offered through the Cisco Networking Academy. For a list of available reports, see our Web site (www.indiana.edu/~iuteam).

Engagement in Learning and Student Success: Findings from the CCNA2 Course presents a summary of key findings concerning the relationship between student engagement in learning and student success in the second CCNA course (CCNA2) in the four-course CCNA program. A related paper (WP 05-03) reporting on student engagement is also available on our Web site. A more detailed academic report concerning the research that produced these findings is forthcoming. That report will also provide additional background on the Cisco Networking Academy.

This research was sponsored by the Cisco Learning Institute www.ciscolearning.org
