Goals, Objectives, and Process of the Presentation:
During the academic year 2011-2012, I worked with Walter Lukhaup, (VP for IT at CCBC), and Carl Dennis, (Cyber Security full-time faculty at CCBC), to develop a new IT Teaching/Learning Tool. This IT Teaching/Learning Tool consisted of an external Linux Server, with LAMP stack configurations. This tool allows Technology faculty and students to have a mobile Linux server without creating any threats to the security of CCBC's campus wide network.
During Fall of 2012, I used our new teaching/learning tool for the the first time, in my CISW101 Web Scripting Languages class. This new IT Teaching/Learning Tool increased students interest in the Class and it caused an increase of 38.69% in students success rate. It also, increases students attendance and class participation by 43.228%.
Having had success with our new IT Teaching/Learning Tool, Walter, Carl and I decided to present our new technology at NISOD 2013.
