Evaluation of a computer networking class in information technology

Evaluation of Students' Learning Behaviour and Success as a Prerequisite for Modernizing Practical on Campus Networking Courses in Higher Education

“…Especially in the higher education, hands-on experiences and practical skills from working on lab assignments are crucial to illustrate, deepen and anchor students' theoretical knowledge (Yu, 2007;Vranken and Koppelman, 2009). Students showed a clear preference for experiential learning in a lab (Helps and Ekstrom, 2008).…”

Mobile And Wireless Networks Course Development With Hands On Labs

“…Although many courses on computer and wireless networks have been developed in these programs, they are primarily focused on indepth mathematics, algorithms, and theory. Many of these courses don't use hands-on labs that are the preferred learning style of information technology students 9 . Since computer information technology (CIT) program emphasizes the hands-on based active learning, the previous approaches taken by other programs (computer science/engineering programs) are not suitable for CIT program.…”
