## Objective

IPv6 has become the de-facto network standard in many
environments. However our experience with network courses
at universities is that IPv6 is not featured at all or only is only
covered to a small extent.

With our IPv6 education offer we would like to assist professors,
tutors and lecturers to support IPv6 in their courses.

## Our knowledge

![](/u/image/ipv6-education.png)

We have not only given many private IPv6 courses at ungleich, but our
staff has graduated from [ETH Zurich](https://ethz.ch/)
and the university of applied sciences
[ZHAW](https://www.zhaw.ch). We have experience in the layout and
requirements of courses taught at bachelor and master level.

Our CEO Nico Schottelius has given speeches at various conferences
include the [RIPE 79](https://ripe79.ripe.net/archives/video/165/) and
[multiple
times](https://www.ipv6.org.uk/2019/09/06/ipv6-council-annual-meeting-2019/)
at the [UK IPv6
Council](https://www.ipv6.org.uk/2019/08/08/cloud-and-ipv6-workshop/).

We are providing [IPv6 Only Hosting](https://ipv6onlyhosting.com/) and
maintain the [IPv6 first data center Data Center
Light](https://datacenterlight.ch/).

And we teach courses at the [Hacking Villa
Diesbach](/u/projects/hacking-villa/).

## Offer 1: IPv6 lecture counselling

Knowing how courses look like and what professors, tutors and students
expect, we can advise on how to introduce IPv6 into course
material. We offer onsite and remote counselling, providing best
practices. We usually base our recommendations on your current course
material to simply update it for IPv6 without major changes to the
course itself.

Typical counselling session:

* Initial meeting to define objectives (1-2h)
* Review current course material (2-5h)
* Update of the current material by ungleich (2-5h)
* Discussion of changes and handing over new material (2-3h)

The hourly rates for educational counselling are available at a
reduced rate of 140 CHF/h.

## Offer 2: IPv6 course design

If you are interested in adding a brand new network course focussed on
IPv6, we can aid you in creating the course. The setting is similar to
the IPv6 lecture counselling, however we will design and develop the
course from scratch including your requirements.

Typical course design session:

* Initial meeting to define objectives (1-2h)
* Development of the first draft (2-3h)
* Short review session (< 1h)
* Development of the course (5-10h)
* Final review session (2-3h)
* Final adjustments (2-5h)
* Final handover session (2-3h)

All material is tracked in version control during development, so it
is easy for faculty to review the material in progress. This mode
avoids pitfals like inappropriate material development.

## Offer 3: IPv6 faculty course

If you are interested in educating your faculty to be able to teach
IPv6 courses, we provide you with a tailor made IPv6 course.

Typical IPv6 faculty course session:

* Initial meeting to define objectives (1-2h)
* Adjustments of our IPv6 course for your use case (1-2h)
* The course (varying - usually 2-3 days of teaching)
