Compex Teaching

Posted in Teaching by Mauro on the March 25th, 2008

Yesterday I have just completed the web design course with Adobe Dreamweaver. I have been delivering these courses on a regular basis and students found them really interesting. One of the main problems is that you cannot cover everything in 25 hours - this is a never-ending situation whereby there is always something new to learn!

I’m having a short break from teaching so that I can now focus on my university assignments and studies. I have some interesting assignments to do including:

  • A TCP/IP Simulator
  • An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) capable to recognise hand written numbers

COMPEX Teaching

Posted in Teaching by Mauro on the August 13th, 2007

This week I have just finished my Dreamweaver Course which I was doing with Compex Computer Training Center. The course was a great success. Teaching the course for the first time was a bit hectic and time consuming. In addition to giving lessons to my students, I have developed a mini-site whereby students had access to some useful resources including flash videos with the solutions to every exercise, online registration form, message board, and others.

All students where given the required course notes, trial software and other stuff on a CD which again was designed by myself.
