Learning Advisor

3/14/2010 6:08:20 PM ET
The Learning Advisor shows you every subject, application, and technology that is taught at Insider Learning Center. You select a subject or keyword you're interested in, and the Learning Advisor displays either a suggested order of courses, or courses related to the subject or keyword. You can view the syllabus for each course and decide if you want to take it. You also have access to a listing of all courses with assessment and certification available, and any of your assessments currently in progress.

Access to this feature may not be part of your subscription. If you cannot see this feature on the site, ask your administrator about feature availability.

Subject is a general term which encompasses products, technical roles, concepts or a specific technology that is associated with a group of courses. For instance, both Java and Programming are subjects, but Java is considered a technology and Programming is a broad conceptual term. If you search for courses within the Programming subject header, you'll find a variety of programming courses in addition to Java courses. In order to help you find the courses you need, we have grouped our courses in overlapping subject areas. Many courses have been grouped in multiple subjects to increase accessibility.

The following options are available from the Learning Advisor page:
