Hello,
Any idea when the upgraded version will be posted to our accounts?
I just checked my account and it still doesn't show the new version.
Thank you!

Great question, Carlos. I hope you don't mind me including the list
on this, as I'm sure many of your peers would be interested in the
same conversation.
I understand your view on the previous VOD version. Your comments
(along with other customers that gave us similar reviews) led us to
conceive of this new delivery. One of the things that made the
former version so boring was that it was just staring at the Power
Point slides for hours. For the new version, Scott sat in front of a
camera for days in a row, which he just loved - ;) - recording the
lecture portion of the videos. Now, you get to stare at Scott as he
lectures to you in Hi-Def. There are about 15 hours worth of Scott's
lectures.
In addition, there is an additional 15+ hours of video walking you
through the exercises that demonstrate the topics being covered
during the lecture portion.
In short, the product is very different. MUCH better! You will be
pleased.

Hi,
I have a question about the Video on Demand Boot Camp upgrade.
Although $200 for this upgrade seems to be quite fair, I would still
like to know a few details like for instance, how much different are
these new Videos from the old ones?
The previous version was OK, although it was a bit static a boring
sometimes due to the lack of "real life" exercises.
So I wonder if the new version includes that kind of exercises that
would make it more interesting.
Thank you!

To IPexpert's CCIE R&S Customers,
For those of you that already own one or more of our R&S products,
this email will describe the upgrade paths and options for you to
get the new materials, just announced.
If you own the Workbook & Proctor Guide (version 9), you are
entitled to free electronic access to the new Volume 1 and Volume 2
(includes Workbook, Proctor Guides and configuration files).
The cost to receive all of the books professionally printed and
bound with protective covers is $199 plus shipping/handling. It is a
ton of material. Seriously, like a whole tree.
Customers that own the Audio Boot Camp CDs will be entitled to free
access to download the new Audio Boot Camp, which you will find in
your Members Area when you login at IPexpert.com. The download will
provide you with MP3 files of the lecture series, which you can
import into your favorite media player, load on your iPod, etc. Good
stuff.
Customers that own the Video on Demand Boot Camp DVDs can order this
product. We will ship you a portable hard drive with the videos pre-
loaded on it, viewable from the unit's media player. The cost is
$200 plus shipping/handling for this option. We will not be able to
stream these videos, due to the massive size (there is about 30
hours worth of video, recorded in 720p High-Definition format).
If you have questions regarding your personal order history and
purchase inquiries, please contact a Training Advisor directly, so
as not to annoy the others on this list. ;-)

Subject: Re: [OSL | CCIE_RS] Request for info on update R&S VOD
Hello, R&S candidates.
We really appreciate all the interest in the new product line!
Hopefully, this email can help to clear up some of the confusion
with the various components included...
First, let's begin with a quick comparison of the deliver model
between the previous Workbook and Proctor Guide offering and the new
books. The Workbooks we have produced in the past have essentially
been two parts; the first part being individual protocol- and
technology-specific lab scenarios and the second part combining
technologies to build complex multi-protocol labs. With our new
delivery model, those two parts / concepts are now represented by
Volume 1 (the individual "Focus Labs") and Volume 2 (Multi-Protocol
Lab Challenges). That's why existing owners of the Workbook /
Proctor Guide get a FREE upgrade to receive the Vol. 1 and 2
materials electronically! (If you don't have those files already,
just contact a Training Advisor at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and you will
get yours immediately.)
Now, let's talk about the new Volume 3 materials. The Workbook
itself contains 10 newly-written "mock labs" that will really put
your skills to the test. Like the Volume 1 and 2 books, you will be
able to reference the accompanying "Proctor Guide" written
explanations, which provide you with insight and understanding of
the lab, as told by the instructor that wrote the lab.
In previous years, we have received requests from our valued
customers for more detail in lab explanations, so we decided to
answer that request in a BIG way with the new Volume 3. All 10 mock
labs are accompanying by not only the Proctor Guide written
explanations, but a video tutorial that is sure to answer your every
question. Each each lab's video tutorial, the instructor spends up
to 10 hours tediously walking you through every task and solution
involved in the lab, showing you the 'show' and 'debug' commands
necessary to fully validate the solution for the task. It is truly
like sitting next to our instructors and learning from them, one-on-
one, as they teach you at your own pace!
Don't confuse those Volume 3 video tutorials with the "Video on
Demand" product, which is yet another separate component of the new
Blended Learning Solution. Scott just completed recording this new
video lecture series (completely re-written and produced from
scratch), which has boiled down to a full 15 hours worth of in-depth
lectures covering the various lab blueprint topics. In addition to
the lecture, however, Scott also launches into deep-dive exercises
throughout the lectures to illustrate points, reinforce your
knowledge in core areas, and make fuzzy points crystal-clear for
you. There are more than 15 hours of these videos (on top of the 15
hours of lectures!) all recorded in 720p High-Definition format.
In contrast to the Volume 3 video tutorials described above, which
are specific to the Vol. 3 labs (likely to be tackled later in a
candidate's preparation path), the Video on Demand series is a
valuable resource throughout.
The last component of the Blended Learning Solution is the Audio
Boot Camp, which is a simple one to describe. Taken from the final
edit of the Video on Demand lecture series described above, we
separated the audio file (Scott's discussions) and created MP3
modules. You are able to listen to these MP3s through the media
player included on the portable hard drive included with the Blended
Learning Solution or you can import them into your favorite media
player. By importing to iTunes, you can load the Audio Boot Camp
modules onto your iPod / iPhone / MP3 Player and take them with you
anywhere. This portability has made this a popular product over the
years for our customers that spend a lot of time commuting /
traveling throughout the week.
So, that covers each component of the new product line. Hopefully,
this will clear up any questions lingering. I welcome you to revisit
this page ( http://tinyurl.com/6j6md2 ) for more info and to access
free sample sections of each product component, including 1 of the
10 mock labs with related media from the Volume 3 Workbook.
One thing left to mention is that the first 5 labs in the new Vol. 3
Workbook are able to be graded when you use the ProctorLabs.com
online racks. I cannot do justice to the full functionality of the
new system, which Mark Snow has captured in the 2 videos he created.
At the following URL, you can watch a brief overview of the new
grading features and/or an in-depth demonstration... both of these
will give you a solid idea for what to expect:
http://proctorlabs.com/index.cfm/VerifiedLabs
(Answering the direct question posed by Masood Ahmad Shah below...
yes, each of your graded reports are saved in your login for
reference later.) :)
As always, please feel free to contact one of our ever-friendly
Training Advisors for more information. Call +1.810.326.1444, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
or chat with them live at www.IPexpert.com/chat during business
hours.
Thanks again to all. We appreciate the opportunity to be a part of
your success!

Second, What if I purchase 25 sessions of lab; Is there any proctor
gonna mark my lab sessions and respond with the results or one can
see the history of my attended labs along with what he did to the
previous labs & results.. Do you guys store labs results in some
databases so one can check the progress..

The VoD is separate from the lab guides and solution guides! Vol1
of the new product set is Core Technology labs (Labs 1-18 in v9),
except that they are all completely rewritten and many are expanded
greatly. In addition, there are 22 labs instead of 18.
Vol2 labs have been edited, and they have FULL solution guides at
this point.
Vol3 is new labs and solution sets as well as videos demonstrating
further information about them.

So, when you say "a number of the topics have been update", what
does that mean? Is it a more detailed with the beginning
technologies and more explanation of how things are done? How much
more info. is in it compared to the prior lab & proctor guides?
I'm trying to decide if I need to upgrade to all the new guides, or
just keep the old lab guides, and maybe buy the Volume 3?
Thanks in advance!

real-live ILT class. In addition, it's recorded in HD 720p format,
so nice
and crisp, and you get to see a little of me along with the slides
(how
exciting is that?) :)
There are also recorded exercises (still 720p) with diagrams and
router-output stepping through a number of things and observing
different
behavior along the way.
In a nutshell, it's COMPLETELY different than its predecessor!
