Basic Networking
24th February 2009
Peter House, Manchester
The main objective of this course is to provide delegates with a basic understanding of computer network technologies and concepts. It will begin with an overview of different network types and how these fit together within JANET. It then moves on to consider different network models and how they can be applied. The course will then look at some of the physical aspects of networks and the protocols that make it all work. Finally after a review of basic network applications, delegates will be lead through a very practical review of some of the key issues associated with campus networking. Throughout the course, delegates are given practical exercises and are shown demonstrations.

IP Fundamentals
25th February 2009
Peter House, Manchester  
This course looks at the Internet Protocol in detail, from the basic principles of operation down to the actual data transmitted, with an emphasis on operation over Ethernet. It is presented in a way which should not deter those who are not from an over-technical background who should still gain useful information from the course.

Computers, Privacy and the Law
3rd March 2009
Armarda House, Bristol
The main aim of the course is to enable organisations and staff to work lawfully, protect user privacy and run a professional systems/network/services. This course provides an introduction to the privacy and legal issues most likely to arise where staff in educational organisations have elevated access permissions for shared networks, computers and applications, and the need for organisations to have, and staff to follow, policies and processes that take account of these.
