Cisco U.: Practical Learning with Community and CE Credits

[ad_1]

For an educator like me, there is only one thing more fun than working with a learner who’s passionate about their subject, and that’s working with a whole community of passionate learners. But even I was amazed when I joined the Cisco U. team and saw the dedication, commitment, and enthusiasm of the Cisco Learning community. You are, hands down, the most fun and passionate community I’ve ever had the honor to work with.

In fact, your passion is why we created Cisco U.

We designed the Cisco U. learning experience around personal guidance, community connections, and an in-depth catalog. It’s also why, even though the confetti hasn’t settled yet from the release of Cisco U., we’re already building new features and content.

We are committed to continuously iterating Cisco U. to provide an ever-more unique, personalized, and practical learning experience. In this blog and my panel at Cisco Live Las Vegas, I’ll share details about what you can expect to see now and going forward in Cisco U.

Spotlight on the learning experience

At Cisco Learning and Certifications, we understand that there is more to learning than acquiring knowledge. Cisco U. is built on a foundation of guidance, community, and depth. We also prioritize the practical aspects of learning; the community, and the opportunity to earn Continuing Education credits.

Community integrations: discuss what you learn as you learn

We know learning works best when it’s collaborative. That’s why Cisco U. builds community connections into the learning experience.

With a worldwide community of more than one million learners from the Cisco Learning Network, you can ask questions and join discussions with experts and peers as you learn. Communities and discussions you follow will surface on your My Dashboard/My Community page. Cisco U. also integrates podcasts and live webinars to keep you looped into the latest developments in the CLN community.

Continuing Education credits: recertify and stay current

Cisco U. lets you recertify your active certifications by earning Continuing Education (CE) credits. To earn CE credits, just complete a qualifying Cisco U. Learning Path by earning at least 80% on every post-assessment in that Learning Path, then submit your CE claim at the CE site.

On the horizon: Cisco U. and the learning life

Your passion for learning and certification continues to fuel our vision for Cisco U. From ongoing content development to a more supportive certification journey to a more personalized and metrics-based experience, watch for new features and releases over the coming months as the platform continues to evolve.
