This forum was originally created as the result of an idea (and I think a good one) by a former CF member, in the early days. The problem seems to be gathering together people who have a common study goal and getting them to actively participate in a discussion forum format. For some reason, the idea of virtual study partners just never took off.

I suspect that part of the reason is the difficulty in getting everyone's schedule organized. It's easier to either study alone or if in school or a similar venue, to study with your partners IRL. When studying alone, if you hit a snag, most CF members just post their question in the appropriate forum for what they're studying.

Too bad. I still think there's potential in the idea if some way could be found to make it work.


You know, I wish my parents played Mozart when I slept because half the time I don't even know what the heck anyone's talking about!

I've never heard of it, or looked into it for that matter. Can you explain a bit more and provide an opinion?

i have started my CCNA so if you need a lab partner give me a shout

I work in a school too and e have a VLE, true as someone said could be usefull here.

if people want more information i can provide some input... maybe we could go down the sharepoint way

i have not been round here enough to start shouting out what to do and dont.. but will gladly tell you a little more for you guys who dont know what one is or what it can do for us here.

- i have some time for projects now as all my busy busy stuff has been finished so up for anything that pops up.

oh right sounds good.. i want to progress further and do those other courses when i have completed my CCNA.

i really want to set up my own lab aswell at home.. but some of the kit is pretty expensive so dont really want to do it on my own. so we will see what happens.
