Description of the Program:

    This program is designed for college students who are looking to setup a Linksys Wireless Router Network. The program is designed to help students learn more about making a safe Wireless Conntection for the Wireless Network so that random people can not leach their internet from them with out permission. It will also go into details on how to connect the router to the PC and how to connect to the internet via their wireless signal.

 

Assessment Strategy:

    Students will be given a multiple choice test to evaluate how well they can recall the information about how to connect a wireless router to a PC. Graphical images of the Ethernet cords, a router and AC adapters will also be included to determine if the user knows how to distinguish these different items from one another. Finally, there will also be some short answer questions for the student to answer to see if they understand the concept of a WEP Key and an IP address.

I (Wally Walton), have read my groups work done so far up to 2:15 AM on Friday March 2nd.

SO far I approve of the work being done on this project. All I am waiting to finish to read is Dan Parrish's part.

The work I contributed to this High Level Design Document was the Description of the Program and the Assessment Strategy.

I so far sign off on this verison of the HLDD, just waitng for Dr. West to look at it and Dan Parrish to add his part.
