Abstract
Practical Learning is a great way of learning as it aids to increase a learner’s interest in a certain subject. It entails the use of visual aids to convey ideas even more effectively. Students can more easily understand and adapt the information from the subject, when they can visually see how it really works. Rather than just explaining the theory concepts, using animating slides, simulation software that explain the theory concepts easily can be used by the instructor to develop the stu-dent’s skill in the particular subject. Simulation tools provide significant cost savings in Education. This is because a topic can be taught effectively to large numbers of people without the need of buying expensive equipment. Like wireless networking labs, if we want to construct the lab with the equipment like wireless router, access points, different cabling it is more cost effective. Now in net, we can find out more simulation software for networking. One of the best simulation tools for Networking is Packet Tracer which can be freely downloadable from Cisco Networking Academy Students. It includes assessment task with automatic scoring and reporting. This paper presents the features of the simulation tool and analyzes the student’s performance over this simulation soft-ware with the given questionnaires. This study provides evidence in support of the instructional effectiveness of the use of Simulation software tool for the teachers and the learners who are interested in networking concepts.
Highlights
Visual learning engages the use of visual aids like video to deliver educational content even more effectively
Activity Results given in above Fig 12.in our session several such activity have been given to the students and after completion, assessment result will be generated which include time Elapsed, completed items, required items etc
Wireless network is complex concepts that are not easy to understand at first glance
Summary
Visual learning engages the use of visual aids like video to deliver educational content even more effectively. It greatly benefits and enhances the learning process as interactive effects are used to reinforce the material being studied. Over the last ten years, several national efforts have been initiated to develop multi-media and web-based educational material [4] It is a proven method in which ideas, concepts ,data and other information are associated with images and animation, resulting is an easier and more effective method of transmitting skills. Learning networking course with packet tracer simulation tool helps students to open their minds, understand the concepts and think broadly about networking. We discuss the teaching learning experience of wireless network course with the packet tracer as a practical tool.
