- Hands-on, live system testing and performance based measurements
- Enterprise curriculum license for an entire school and multiple campuses
- Simple fee structure for reliable budgeting
- Curriculum management and instructional & technical support for teachers
- ACSD Certification Testing Center for your community
- More courses to come
2. What are the fees for the Institutional Academy Program?
Institutional Academy is offered as a 24 month subscription fee per campus for unlimited enrollment. We also offer multi-campus subscriptions that reduce the per campus fee. Annual subscriptions are provided for high schools, post-secondary degree programs, post-secondary non-degree programs, all-campus programs, and multiple campus programs.
The only other possible fee is the teacher's certification. If the teacher is already ACSD or ACT certified, there are no teacher training fees. For those who need to get certified, the fee could be as low as the exam only or up to optional open enrollment classes to prepare for the exam.
3. What kind of Curriculum is covered in the Institutional Academy?
Please refer the Academic Curriculum.
4. Will there be more content offered from Linux Academy?
Yes, our model is to develop and offer a selection of courses so you can customize your Academy program each year to properly serve your students and community.
5. In which school programs can we offer the Academy Program Curriculum?
Your school may offer the curriculum in the program of your choice and in multiple programs at multiple locations simultaneously. For example, a college may offer the curriculum as semester courses for a degree program within the Computer Information Services division while the Continuing Education division may be simultaneously offering the curriculum as evening and weekend classes for adult learners in the community.
6. How often may we teach the courses and at what length?
Your school may schedule the courses as often as you wish during the term of the Agreement as long as the course workbooks are taught sequentially. The minimum timeframe a course can be delivered and completed by your enrolled students will be finally formulated by our learning services. Any length offered per course longer than this formulation is at your discretion.
7. How many contact hours per week should we teach each course?
That is up to you. Each course of study consists of multiple workbooks which must be taught sequentially. As long as each course is taught and completed in no less than formulated time frame, you can determine the number of contact hours per week you prefer to teach.
8. Can we print our own student workbooks?
Yes. You can print one copy for each student who is taking a Institutional Academy course.
9. What are the certification requirements of our teachers?
Every instructor you select to teach this curriculum must be at least ACT certified prior to the beginning of the class.
10. How do my teachers become certified?
- Option 1: A teacher with a great deal of Linux knowledge may choose to take the RHCT exam without any preparation. If he/she passes the exam, he/she becomes certified and is eligible to teach the class.
- Option 2: A teacher with some Linux knowledge may choose to enroll in the training class at our training center and proceed to take the exam.
- Option 3: A teacher with no Linux knowledge should take both the appropriate classes at our training center prior to taking the exam.
- Option 4: Teachers can take our web-based, E-Learning courses (if available then) to help them prepare for passing the ACT exam. They will still need to take the exam at one of our training/testing facilities.
- Option 5: Your teacher is already ACT certified. No further training/certification is required.
11. How will the teachers be trained to teach the Institutional Academy Program Curriculum?
Once the Service Agreement is signed, you will provide Linux Academy a list of teachers you have assigned to teach the courses. Those teachers will then have immediate access to the entire curriculum via a procedure. They can access the curriculum as often as they wish to begin developing their class or prepare for their own certification. They will also be provided a Teacher Workbook with outlines and suggestions. Linux Academy will also provide communication support directly with teachers throughout the year for any curriculum or teaching-related assistance.
12. What kind of online access will my teachers and students have and what what kind of teaching format should I use?
The linuxacademy.org will host almost all the aspects of Institutional Academy Program. Including curriculum, all lessons, lesson activities, lesson review questions and workbook assessments, course elements as well.
13. What about accessing the Academy on our LAN?
A copy of the Academy curriculum will be added to the instructor's workstation (Classroom Server); however, certain specific elements will not be available because they are only available with us.
14. Can our campus become a certification exam center?
Yes. You will need a certified individual, with appropriate administrator training, in order to offer and facilitate the exam for all students (and teachers) at your school. The exam will be available for any students from your entire community who enroll and complete required course in the Academy curriculum at your school.
The exam taker does not have to be employed by the school. You may contract out for this service.
15. Why should i become a exam center and how much does it cost?
Becoming a Testing Center may provide you a way to attract and enroll more students who can learn and test for the exam right their on your campus. Any Academy-enrolled student can take take the exam. You can schedule the exam as often as you wish. Linux Academy charges the institution a fee for each student taking the exam - the school may charge the student with a fee for the exam.
16. Do we provide the grading and certification process if we become the exam center?
Linux Academy provides all of the certification and grading process for you - grading, notification to the participants of pass or fail, issuing and sending certification documents to the students, creating certification records and much more. The exam can be administered by your administrator on the same networked classroom equipment used to run the Institutional Academy curriculum.
17. How long is the exam and what are the designed outcomes?
The certification exam is a half-day session.
This certification indicates that the person has passed a realistic performance-based exam that tests his/her technical abilities and skills and troubleshooting.
18. Can we market our Institutional Academy Program to our entire community?
Yes, as long as the program is marketed under the program guidelines. One of our objectives is for your school to offer the Institutional Academy Program in a way that can help you serve as many students as you wish.
19. If the institution has multiple campuses, can the institution sign a single Service Agreement so that the Institutional Academy License covers all the campuses?
Yes. The Service Agreement might cover multiple campuses as per the fee and waiver definitions signed in the legal entity of the Service Agreement.
20. What kind of technical specification do i need at our school to run the academy curriculum?
A basic server - workstation setup required to deploy a Linux and open source based network for teaching the curriculum elements.
