Sutherland HDL eTutored™ self-paced Online Workshop Details

(available Q3-2011)

Instructor-assisted comprehensive training anytime and anywhere — the utmost in schedule flexibility. Sutherland HDL eTutored™ self-paced online courses provide one-on-one tutoring from experienced SystemVerilog experts.

Overview

• Engineers can start an eTutored™ self-paced self-paced workshop on any date, and have 60 days to complete the course.
• Engineers log on to Sutherland HDL’s online campus to complete training modules that are custom designed for effective online learning (Mr. Sutherland holds a Masters degree in eLearning).
• eTutored™ self-paced online workshops use eBooks and other online materials developed specifically of effective online learning.
• Most course modules are followed by a lab project to reinforce important concepts and how they are applied in actual design or verification code. A Sutherland HDL instructor is available by phone, e-mail or Skype to assist with the labs. The hours of availability will be announced by the instructor.
• Lab work is submitted to the instructor for review and recommendations on best coding practices, ensuring that concepts are correctly understood and that there are no misconceptions that could be disastrous in a real project.
• A prior knowledge evaluation at the beginning of most course modules allows each engineer to jump over what he or she already knows and focus on what needs to be learned. That can’t be done in a lecture-based group class.

Requirements

• Access to a SystemVerilog simulator in order to complete the lab projects. Sutherland HDL does not provide simulation tools for eTutored™ courses.
• A computer (Windows, Mac, Linux, or Solaris).
• Highspeed Internet connection (cable modem, DSL, or better).
• A quiet place to listen to audio and video clips in course modules, and and to concentrate on learning without interuption.
