Now Available: New SonicWall Email Security eLearning Course

By

SonicWall SES eLearning course has had a makeover! And how! With recent upgrades to the SonicWall SES product suite, it was only natural that the free, Web-based online training that SonicWall offers to various partner channels would also be revised.

Change needs to beget Changed Content!

The newly launched course contains up-to-date information on SonicWall ‘s SES product suite, challenging quizzes, engaging instructional strategies modeled with a constructivist approach, a new course template, colorful and animated screens and smaller course segments to accommodate busy schedules! The course harmonizes various knowledge levels and seeks to provide an enhanced learning experience around the SonicWall SES solution, to supplement the information provided by the product Admin Guide.

Knowledge rests not upon truth alone, but upon error also!

This free, self-paced training instructs you on how to deploy, configure, and maintain the SonicWall Email Security (SES) solution to meet email security and compliance requirements. The Web-based course prepares the students for their CSSA Level Certification exam. All 11 modules of this course are interspersed with challenging quizzes and knowledge checks modeled along Kirkpatrick’s evaluation principles and procedures to integrate learning, behavior, and results.

These knowledge checks have been deliberately left ungraded because their primary purpose is to help you revisit, analyze, or explore a concept based on any prior knowledge or experience in the email security domain. Detailed and analytical feedback is provided to you for most of the quizzes.

The new SonicWall SES course includes behaviorist-oriented, pre-instructional strategies, such as stimulating recall of prerequisites. It also follows a constructivist approach to non-graded quizzes and knowledge checks that provide opportunities for the learners to reflect upon and articulate what they learned using analytical or holistic rubrics.

There are things known, and there are things unknown. And in between are the doors!

The mainstay of the course is that the revised content came straight from the horse’s mouth, figuratively speaking! The subject matter expertise for the content originated not from the product engineers, but from the folks in the middle of all action, at the vanguards of the battle lines, at…, well, you get the idea! We are referring to none other than the omniscient Tech Support folks that provide solutions to any issues you might ever face with your SonicWall SES application. Their repertoire of case studies drawn from real-life customer stories and experiences was the source of much of the course content and helped make it as contextual and real-life as possible.

Knowledge is of two kinds; We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information about it.

Let’s just summarize by stating that the new SonicWall Email Security course is dynamic, right-sized, collaborative, personalized, comprehensive and ““ best of all ““ free! So check it out and send us your feedback.
