The area of Computer Networks requires an educational model based on real market practices that can provide students with consistent technological training. However, it should be noted that a Network Project is subject to a wide range of restrictions (such as time constraints, budgeting, and the use of other necessary resources) which means there is a need to work with real cases and in the presence of a client. The purpose of this paper is to describe the effects of the application of PBL‐Maestro in the area of Network Design. PBL‐Maestro consists of a LMS (Learning Management System) that has been designed to underpin a methodological workflow for implementing PBL (Problem‐Based Learning) in the teaching of Computing, called xPBL, which provides support for Authentic Assessment. By taking xPBL as a benchmark, the course management can be carried out by following the dynamics of the cycle and stages. The topics was taught in an entirely ̈hands‐on̈ format with the use of real equipment installed inside the classroom, and it included situations and problems arising from real circumstances. Clients took part in the whole process and took on the responsibility of making requests, monitoring, guiding, and evaluating the development of the problem solution, together with the teacher. In addition, the fact that they were immersed in a practical environment and could make use of the devices employed in companies enabled them to solve problems when requested, with more facility and assertiveness. Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with the users who used the LMS.

“…This group has been conducting research in this area since 2007 and other results are described in Refs. [21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. As recommended by xPBL, the adoption of the tool related to the management of teaching and learning processes can assist in the alignment of the planning and its execution.…”

Problem‐Based Learning (PBL) has gained widespread approval as a constructive, student‐centered approach to teaching, and learning. Advocating the use of real‐life problems to initiate and motivate the learning process, PBL is an inductive strategy promoting the understanding of new concepts as well as the development of professional skills, abilities, and attitudes. Thus, it is paramount that teachers and students implement PBL in conformity to its core principles. However, such implementation becomes a challenge, considering that PBL is fundamentally different from traditional instruction methods. Without the appropriate pedagogical and technological support, PBL's quality, effectiveness, and authenticity are at risk. In an attempt to overcome these challenges, this paper presents the PBL‐Coach Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), built upon PBL learning theories. This paper describes in detail a scientific investigation on a practical PBL implementation, driven by the quest to achieve the following goals: (i) Scaffold teachers and students in implementing the PBL method; (ii) Investigate useful and usable technological resources in the PBL process; (iii) Maintain PBL core principles for an authentic and effective learning process. As a result, three case studies are described and one is detailed to validate our investigation, consisting of a real‐world setting with clients, teachers, tutors, and students. Each case study provided a good level of evidence that PBL‐Coach, used in a real‐world, authentic setting, can promote an effective learning process through a number of carefully designed technological resources. Encouraging results motivated to evolve PBL‐Coach through Augmented and Virtual Reality components as future works.

Compiling Principles is an important professional and foundation course in computer major. This paper studies the characteristics of the course of Compiling Principles, and the problems existing in the course teaching of Compiling Principles were analyzed. Aiming at the characteristics of computer major in application oriented universities, we have made a positive exploration of the teaching content, teaching methods and means, practice teaching system and so on. The teaching practice in recent years shows that the reform has aroused the students' learning interest, and has achieved good teaching results.
