LiveLabs are advanced experiential learning activities in which learners step through a series of guided actions and actively control LIVE equipment and applications in a distributed data center via a web-based anytime, anywhere browser.
LiveLabs are ideal for providing students with guided access to hardware (such as Cisco routers and switches) or software (such as Microsoft and Linux operating systems or applications). LiveLabs are not simulated environments … as the name implies; they are LIVE!
Courses: LiveLabs are ideal for concentrations such as Web Design, Networking, Desktop Support, and Database Management.
Length: Depending on course goals and objectives, LiveLabs typically take learners 15-45 minutes to complete.
Development Time: A basic 12-week course including 5-7 LiveLabs takes approximately 60-75 days to develop.
Cost: Aside from a minimal up front development fee, the only other cost is a per-learner fee that is usually less than the price of a textbook.
