MindTap® Networking & Security for Whitman/Mattord’s Management of Information Security is an online learning solution designed to help students master the skills they need in today’s workforce. Research shows employers need critical thinkers, troubleshooters and creative problem-solvers to stay relevant in our fast paced technology-driven world. MindTap helps you achieve this with assignments and activities that provide hands-on practice, real life relevance and mastery of difficult concepts. Students are guided through assignments that progress from basic knowledge and understanding to more challenging problems. All MindTap activities and assignments are tied to learning objectives. The hands-on labs provide real-life application and practice. Readings and “Whiteboard Shorts” support the lecture, while “In the News” assignments encourage students to stay current. Pre- and post- course assessments allow you to measure how much students have learned using analytics and reporting that makes it easy to see where the class stands in terms of progress, engagement and completion rates. Use the content and learning path as-is or pick and choose how our material will wrap around yours. You control what the students see and when they see it.
