In this learning activity, you’ll practice connecting to the Team Foundation Service (TFS) and your local code repository to get existing code.

In this learning activity you'll identify various types of unshielded twisted pair cables and their networking connectors.

In this animated activity, learners study the difference between relative and absolute paths and how each can be used to create links to html resources. A short quiz completes the activity.This learning object has audio content.

In this learning activity, you’ll explore the Data Definition Language (DDL) including its three main commands: CREATE, ALTER, and DROP.

You'll explore the three main services of cloud computing: Software as a service, Platform as a Service, and Infrastructure as a Service.

In this learning activity you'll explore how to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk between adjacent wires.

In this learning activity you'll examine the format of an IP address and interpret the octet by converting between decimal and binary numbers.

Learners view the seven segments of an Ethernet frame and the types of information each represents.

In this animated activity, learners examine nanotechnology applications that are based on cell membrane structure and function.

Learners view animations showing how hubs and switches work in local area network configurations.

In this activity you will learn the benefits of SSH, Secure shell, versus plain FTP.

In this interactive learning object, the student matches the names of software with their definitions and categorizes computer terms according to the appropriate software.

In this learning activity, you’ll identify information hackers use to gain access to a company, explain different types of social engineering attacks, and recognize different solutions to avoid these attacks.

In this interactive activity, learners insert the router terms that each acronym stands for. Each of the acronyms is formed from the key letters in a term that relates to routers.

In this learning activity you'll examine how routers transfer data between local area networks and the Internet.
