Design of a distance, 2+2, IT curriculum in Linux system administration

This paper discusses the design of an articulated program between Polk Community College (PCC) and the University of South Florida Lakeland (USFL) Department of Information Technology (IT). This blended program (distance-education and face-to-face) is meant to train "advanced Linux technicians" to both meet the workforce demands and have the potential to engage in graduate academic pursuits. We discuss the curricular and technical challenges of this endeavor with a focus on how this work leverages previous results obtained with a NSF-sponsored grant.
