A review of the OSI/Internet protocol stack with focus on the issues that are critical in wireless network implementation. The unit outlines the effect of every layer in the overall performance of a wireless network.
This unit looks at advocacy journalism, what it means, how it can be used, and how it is different from traditional journalism.
This unit starts by giving the reader a brief overview of the concept of "Link Budgets" in order to provide a clear picture of when, where and why the choice of antennas and cables matters in wireless implementations. Thereafter, the unit covers types of antennas, polarization, isolation and coaxial cables and connectors.
A general introduction to basic physics relevant for wireless networking.
This unit covers basic research methods in an easily accessible way, and includes research tips and pros and cons for each method. It also takes learners through a step-by-step approach to planning research.
A high level introduction to wireless modes and topologies, based around real life cases, and supplying basic knowledge about the setting up of such infrastructures.
The unit focuses on the importance of having a good implementation plan to produce a good budget and discusses how to budget and plan for a wireless network.
This unit will equip learners with basic CD burning skills using Nero Burning ROM software.
This "Back Home Action Planning" unit offers an opportunity for individuals to plan how they will apply their new Cooperative Problem Solving skills in their back-home environment.
This unit explores the "Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement" or BATNA.
Cooperative Problem Solving is sometimes the best way to deal with a problem. However, sometimes other strategies are desirable. This unit looks at how it is possible to assess a situation and choose an appropriate approach.
Handout and trainers' guide on Cooperative Problem Solving.
The message of this unit that by understanding the difference between positions and interests, you greatly increase your ability to find common ground.
The message of this unit is that once we have discovered the interests of the parties to a conflict, it is often useful to generate options before developing an agreement.
An introduction to the concept of and issues involved in Cooperative Problem Solving.
The message of this unit is that it is only by listening to understand that we create the possibility of then being understood.
The way we raise an issue has a significant effect on the entire problem-solving process. By raising an issue in a constructive way, we set the stage early for resolving the conflict productively. The purpose of this unit is to give participants an opportunity to practice and explore this type of problem solving.
The message of this unit is that emotions are normal in a conflict situation, and they can contribute to problem solving if you learn how to manage them.
The message of this unit is that there are certain techniques available that can make it easier to develop agreements: one of them is using standards.
This unit deals with one of the "non-linear" dimensions of cooperative problem solving - perceptions. If we understand that each of us experiences the world differently, then we can use our different perceptions as sources of creativity and understanding, rather than as sources of dissent.
