Abstract

Teaching computer networks to freshman on its first quarter of telecommunications engineering is a challenge due to the few, if any, previous knowledge that must be assumed in the areas of computing and computer networks. After evaluating existing alternatives that could be used by the students in the practicums, we decided we had to provide them with better tools. We have implemented a GUI named NetGUI that allows students to design and operate computer networks emulated by the Netkit software environment. NetGUI has been tested with 120 freshman students and with a smaller group of 3rd year students with prior knowledge in computer netwoking at two public universities in Spain. This paper describes the tool and the experience gained in the test that we made with the students.
