Lab Environment Preparation

Lab environment preparation refers to steps that must be completed ahead of the boot camp delivery to provide the necessary infrastructure to support the boot camp labs. For this boot camp, labs are conducted on hosted virtual machine images running on a remote server.

Lab environment preparation consists of:

·  Distributing IP Addresses of hosted images and Array SLLs credentials to students. This information will be provided by Oracle to the instructor.

Instructor Preparation

Instructor preparation consists of learning the material to be delivered how it should be delivered and building and being in possession of the necessary on site materials to support the class.

Knowledge

Instructor knowledge of the subject area and detailed familiarity with the course material are among the most important factors in successful boot camp delivery. Knowledge of the subject area should be covered by appropriate instructor selection, but it is up to the individual instructor to adequately prepare to deliver the material. Accordingly, prior to class, each instructor should:

1.  Instructor has to go through the Additional Information provided in the training package to deliver the best of the knowledge.

2.  Carefully go though all presentations, lab manuals and assessment. It is strongly recommended that an instructor plan to augment the material with real world examples reflecting his/her experience. This can stimulate great conversations and adds significantly to the value of the class.

3.  Work through all lab manuals.

Materials

In the case of most deliveries, the instructor serves as the primary (if not sole) source of logistical support for students. Accordingly, in addition to learning the material as described above, the instructor should:

1.  Have all necessary printed material that is to be distributed to students. Instructor need to distribute the lab manual for each day and also the presentations if he/she feel so.

2.  Have all necessary electronic material that is to be distributed to students.
