Development of Instructor Support Function for Cloud-based IP Networking Practice System
Seiya Hirahata, Yoshiaki Taniguchi, Nobukazu Iguchi · 2019
To enable efficient practice of network exercise, we have developed a cloud-based IP networking practice system. In the system, virtual machine and cloud technologies are used so that a student can practice exercise of network construction without using actual network equipments at a remote location. However, since the system was designed for self-study purpose, a student may not resolve encountered problems by asking to an instructor. In this paper, we develop a cloud-based practice system with an instructor support function by extending our previous system. We develop a client for instructors to grasp the exercise progress of students and to provide guidance for students from a remote location. Through experimental evaluations, we confirmed that instructors can use our system to provide guidance to remote students.
