This is the web address of the Open Learning Center (OLC). We've made much of the community visible in a read-only basis for anonymous users. For posting privileges and access to on-demand labs you will need to register and log in.

Log In or Register/Log In

Sun employees, partners, and those who already have a My Sun Online account are already subscribed to the OLC because the OLC uses the same authentication as other Sun communities such as My Sun Online, BigAdmin, and the Sun Developers Network. Sun employees are automatically subscribed and log in with their first.last@sun.com email as a username, and their LDAP password.
If you need to register, simply click the link at the bottom of the login box and the session is redirected to MySun Connection, Sun's customer facing identity platform used by customers and partners. Follow the registration process, log in, and return to the OLC.

The OLC is built on a modular framework based on learning objects such as labs, web-based training, self-tests, and so on. Those under development are visible only to the development team. Membership to the development team is open to any engineer interested in participating as a content reviewer, and/or testing the labs as part of an SLS Residency (see the Residency button for more details). Production labs are visible under the Labs header for anyone to peruse. A lab module consists of three primary components: an FAQ, a forum, and a lab session.
A lab forum is a threaded discussion group where individual users are encouraged to ask or answer questions, post opinions, share best practices, call out bugs or anything else which helps drive and improve the community. Any user can read the forum, and any user subscribed to that lab can post to the forum.
A lab FAQ (Frequently Asked Question) is a collection of questions and answers that have been determined to be most relevant to the majority of users. The FAQ is a read-only resource that is moderated by a Sun-recognized subject matter expert for that lab content.
A lab session consists of lab materials, access into a lab environment, and support services. More details on the lab session are covered below.
Finally there is a growing Help section that describes site navigation, usage, and general help topics.
