“…They can complement existing ones or be used as freelancers, especially for courses where physical laboratories cannot be developed due to lack of resources and real practices. That is why, virtual laboratories are even more appropriate, important and cost-effective for educational institutions in developing countries where physical facilities are poorly equipped or do not exist (Ayega and Khan, 2020;Polanco and Guerrero, 2020;Fraire and Duran, 2021).…”

Software Defined Network (SDN) is an emerging and programmable network paradigm that changes the way networks are designed and managed by introducing an abstraction that decouples control from the data plane. This technology has generated great interest in both industry and academia. SDN aims to simplify network management while allowing students, teachers, and researchers to experiment with protocols on networks that are used on a daily basis. In addition, it has led to the emergence of new trends in educational systems, especially the university sector, in computer systems and network administration. Due to the little diffusion of the SDN and the high projection that this technology currently has, it is essential that the university educational entities are those that dabble in this issue. That is why this essay is a synthesis that addresses the importance of applying SDN for educational purposes and in the context of academic research groups.

“…Discussing basic network concepts such as communication layers, protocols and encapsulation without seeing them in action is difficult for some students (Sarkar, 2006b). Teaching more advanced topics such as troubleshooting, network management and network security is even more challenging (Andreatos, 2021;Polanco & Guerrero, 2020;Wang & Sbeit, 2020).…”

The transition to fully online delivery in the COVID-19 pandemic has added to already existing and significant challenges in subjects and programs that require a component of practicum, on-site experience or hands-on laboratory work. This article presents initial results from a study that responds to challenges arising in moving to a fully online version of an advanced-level computer networking subject within a postgraduate computing degree. Specifically, the study addresses challenges related to a lack of effective teaching approaches combined with a lack of integrated technologies for conducting hands-on laboratory work in online learning environments. The findings presented are from a case study comparison of face-to-face delivery with a newly developed ‘smart learning environment’. Findings indicate that student results and satisfaction levels from the two modes of delivery were comparable. Findings support the purpose-designed instructional strategy, integrated technologies and practical assessments, set within sequenced and scaffolded activities. Further research is being undertaken to confirm the effectiveness of the changes, including case studies of students’ performance data from subsequent offerings of the subject and the inclusion of pre-test post-test protocols and randomised trials.

La red definida por software (SDN) es un paradigma de red emergente y programable que cambia la forma en que se diseñan y administran las redes al introducir una abstracción que desacopla el control del plano de datos. Esta tecnología ha generado un gran interés tanto en la industria como en la academia. SDN tiene como objetivo simplificar la gestión de la red al tiempo que permite a los estudiantes, docentes e investigadores experimentar con protocolos en las redes que se usan a diario. Además, ha llevado al surgimiento de nuevas tendencias en los sistemas educativos, especialmente el sector universitario, en administración de sistemas y redes computacionales. Debido a la poca difusión de las SDN y la alta proyección que tiene actualmente esta tecnología, es fundamental que sean las entidades educativas universitarias las que incursionen en esta temática. Es por ello que, el presente ensayo es una síntesis donde se aborda la importancia de aplicar las SDN para fines educativos y en el contexto de grupos de investigación académica.
