From "Watson, come here, I want you!" to Digital Networking; Teletutor's Telecom Technologies brings the world of networking to life.PORTSMOUTH, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 4, 1997-- Computer Based Training course uses graphics and interactions to show what telecommunications is, how it developed, and how it is deployed Why did Bell yell out that famous command? How was Watson able to hear him? By linking these near-mythic moments in telecommunications history with clear writing that explains the technical facts, and cementing that knowledge with on-screen on·screen or on-screen adj. & adv. 1. As shown on a movie, television, or display screen. 2. Within public view; in public. interactions, Teletutor has created a course that could well become the standard Day 1 training ritual for data and telecommunications professionals. "There's a great interest in telecommunications technology right now," says Jim Cooper For other persons of the same name, see Jim Cooper (disambiguation). James Hayes Shofner "Jim" Cooper (born July 19, 1954) is a politician from the U.S. state of Tennessee, currently a member of the U.S. , President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"Our goal for creating such a course is to help companies develop more productive employees by allowing them to both understand and keep up with today's crucial networking technologies." Telecom Technologies, expanded and upgraded, stands as an ideal foundation course in Teletutor's comprehensive networking curriculum. Other courses explore ATM, Frame Relay A high-speed packet switching protocol used in wide area networks (WANs). Providing a granular service of up to DS3 speed (45 Mbps), it has become popular for LAN to LAN connections across remote distances, and services are offered by most major carriers. , T1, Fiber Optics fiber optics, transmission of digitized messages or information by light pulses along hair-thin glass fibers. Each fiber is surrounded by a cladding having a high index of refractance so that the light is internally reflected and travels the length of the fiber , Digital Switching, X.25, and the basics of Local Area Networking. Like all Teletutor courses, Telecom Technologies provides special features that create a flexible learning environment, including: quizzes with self-generated review paths, a hypertext glossary, as well as tagging and notes features. Navigation tools include an interactive course map, and a point-and-click course index.

In keeping with Teletutor's instructional design philosophy, technical points are driven home with student interactions. With the mouse, students click on a telegraph key to see and hear Morse's first message. A later animation shows how a Harmonic Telegraph-the device Bell was trying to create when he stumbled upon the secret of telephony-might have looked had it been completed. In another animation, students become Bell for a brief second when they click on a bottle of sulfuric acid sulfuric acid, chemical compound, H2SO4, colorless, odorless, extremely corrosive, oily liquid. It is sometimes called oil of vitriol. Concentrated Sulfuric Acid to pour more into a wet transmitter. The acid spills for them, too, and a technical point is brought to life. Students are taken through the steps leading to every major innovation in telecommunications-from load coils to microwaves-to understand the technological bases for each. In Lesson 2, students help connect a phone call on an 1880s switchboard and see how the first step switching devices worked through interactions with diagrams and precise descriptions. Such instances provide the insights for understanding 20th Century technologies discussed in depth in Lesson 3, which include coaxial carrier systems, T1 transmission, as well as fiber optic and satellite systems. Lesson 4 explores modern switching technologies such as tone signaling, electronic switching, and stored program control.
