FTA:Open Networks Course Development

Open Networks v2.0

Introduction

The Open Networks Course originally developed by UOC/Enric Peig Olivé as PID_00164576 has become dated. I would like to start a project to re-develop this course and have made a start, my materials can be found at http://www.obriain.com/ob/GNULinux_Networking .

The course module itself is described already in the FTA [Network Technologies] course module.

Course Materials

The FTA currently uses as a starting point its [OpenNetworks] course book. It was originally developed in Spanish by the Open University of Catalonia (UOC), who hired Enric Peig Olivé as its author, and later translated by the FTA into English.
