CNM Wiki Essentials Lectios # Referred topics What CNM Wiki Is 1 Collaboration on Documents 2 Wiki's Version Control 3 Wiki's Images and Talks 4 Wiki at Competency Suite 5
- CNM Wiki is the document collaboration system that CNM Cyber brings to you as a service. Document collaboration systems usually help multiple people work together on single documents to achieve their distinguished latest versions. When a CertUser is at CNM Wiki, he or she can click "edit" and contribute to its content.
- Wiki is a Hawaiian word meaning quick and refers to quick editing of the content. CNM Cert, CNM Lab, and CNM Social also provide their users with wikipages.
- There are two types of document collaboration systems. Collaborative realtime editors such as Google Docs and other web-based office suites belong to one type.
- CNM Cyber's document collaboration system utilizes another type, wiki engine, because of two reasons. First of all, wiki is more widespread in the information technology industry. Second, wiki engines are robust when it comes to tracking, which is vital in the learning process.
- Using its version control tool, CNM Wiki tracks different versions of those textual documents that have been developed there. This feature is called "history." Using that feature, older versions can be accessed and any revision can be "undo" or reversed.
- If you go to the top of any wikipage at CNM Wiki, you can see on some right the View history tab. If you open it, you should be able to see every revision which has ever been made on the wikipage. For instance, you can find the oldest one to see when the particular wikipage was created and even how it looked like when it was created.
- For images, CNM Wiki has its software repository. If you click on any image at CNM Wiki, you should be able to find original files, as well as who and when uploaded them.
- Talk pages allow developers to talk to each other. On the top of any wikipage as well, but now on its left, next to the "Page" tab, there is the "Discussion" tab. If you click here, you will get to another page attached to the main one. Here, you can write anything that you feel like other contributors should be aware of. Regular visitors would rarely get here, but other developers can get information behind the "scenes."
- CNM Wiki belongs to the Competency Suite. However, its features such as talk pages, software repository, version control, turn this service also into a development hub. Another development hub within CNM Cyber is CNM Lab.
- CNM Wiki plays a vital role in both learning by making and CNM Cyber development. For example, this CNM Cyber Welcome Course was developed at CNM Wiki before it was published at CNM Cert. This course's texts including its exam questions can still be viewed at CNM Wiki. To find them, you can search CNM Wiki for CNM Cyber Welcome Course.

CNM Cert Essentials Lectios # Referred topics What CNM Cert Is 1 CNM Cert Enrollments 2 Standard vs Individual Courses 3 Cert at Competency Suite 4
- CNM Cert is where learning activities such as lessons and quizzes are published, as well as credentials are issued. CNM Cert is the learning management system that CNM Cyber brings to you as a service of its Competency Suite. Similarly to other learning management systems, CNM Cert is designed to deliver some learning content, support assessments, and track your learning progress.
- At CNM Cert, all learning activities are grouped into courses. All available courses can be found on the home page of CNM Cert. The courses in which you are currently enrolled are shown on your dashboard.
- Some courses, like this very welcome course, are open to everyone to get enrolled. Some are not, particularly, because they have some prerequisites. For instance, you cannot get enrolled in the CNM Cyber Orientation without completing this very welcome course.
- For now, the course administrators set up enrollment options, but, one day, this function is planned to be moved from course administrators to CNM Cabin. Ideally, you should be able to see only those standalone courses that don't require any prerequisites and are available to you. When you get graduated from one course, the system shall automatically open those courses that enrollment depends on the one you have completed.
- The term, curriculum, is used to describe both scope of learning content and learning sequence. Some curriculum of CNM Cert is prescripted. So, some courses, like this very welcome course, are already set up and offered automatically.
- Another curriculum of CNM Cert can be individualized in order to meet the needs of a particular learner. Those courses are set up manually. For instance, a separate course may be designed to track your possible work experience, and so on.
- CNM Cert plays a unique role within the CNM Competency Suite. Unlike many learning management systems, CNM Cert shall also interact with other services of CNM Cyber and accommodate assessments throughout the whole platform. The word, Cert, in the service's name, stands for certification.
- CNM Cert's assessments are further used to track your progress and plan your learning path. Thus, one single most important purpose of CNM Cert is its monitoring of your development and planning of your further learning.
CNM Cyber for Action is the successor session.
