“…For example, Linge and Parsons (2006) employed realistic cases in a "Data Telecommunications and Networks" module and they concluded that this is an ideal method for teaching computer network design. Gendron and Jarmoszko (2003) successfully utilized relevant real world problems to teach "Data Communications and Networking", while Noor (2003) applied the same learning principles to teach "Network Design and Management".…”

This study provides field research evidence on the efficiency of a "free-selection" peer review assignment protocol as compared to the typically implemented "assignedpair" protocol. The study employed 54 sophomore students who were randomly assigned into three groups: Assigned-Pair (AP) (the teacher assigns student works for review to student pairs), Free-Selection (FS) (students are allowed to freely explore and select peer work for review), and No Review (NR) (control group). AP and FS student groups studied and reviewed peer work in the domain of Computer Networking, supported by a web-based environment designed to facilitate the two peer review protocols. Our results indicate that students following the Free Selection protocol demonstrate (a) better domain learning outcomes, and (b) better reviewer skills, compared to the AP condition. Overall, the study analyzes the benefits and shortcomings of the FS vs. AP review assignment protocol, providing evidence that the FS condition can be multiply beneficial to students who engage in peer review activities.

“…Gendron and Jarmoszko [3] have successfully exploited PBL to teach data communications and networking to undergraduate students studying information systems. Here, a two-thread framework is employed in which a theoretical thread provides the fundamental theory, and an applied thread uses a business-case simulation tool to experience practical business issues.…”

Abstract-This paper addresses the challenge of developing techniques for the effective teaching of computer network design. It reports on the experience of using the technique of problem-based learning as a key pedagogical method for teaching practical network design within the context of a Master's program module in data telecommunications and networks at the University of Salford, Salford, Greater Manchester, U.K. A two-threaded approach was adopted that comprised a problem-based learning thread and a conventional lecture thread. The problem-based learning thread within the module comprised sessions designed to place the students in the position of network design consultants who are introduced to scenarios that have a high degree of realism in which a client has specific business requirements that can be met through the adoption of a network solution. In this way, the problem-based learning thread allows the students to develop their design skills, while the lecture thread uses traditional teaching methods to allow students to develop their understanding of key network components and architectures. A formal evaluation of this approach has been carried out and demonstrated a very effective and realistic learning experience for the students. Therefore, the authors propose that problem-based learning is an ideal pedagogical tool for the teaching of computer network design.Index Terms-Computer network design, M.Sc. degree, problem-based learning.

“…Achieving Data Communication competency is a challenging job, because there are data communication concepts that are difficult to explain using a whiteboard or a module in text form (Latih, Hassan, & Ali, 2012). In addition, lecturers in the Data Communication course are not only required to explain the material, but also need to build an understanding of "how" and "why" the data communication process works (Gendron & Jarmoszko, 2003). The development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) also encourages changes in communication materials that give rise to various terms that sometimes do not correspond to technological details (Bostan, 2015).…”

The development of educational games for data communication courses aims to help students understand data communication subject matter. The research method used in the development of educational games for the Data Communication course is Research and Development (R&D) with the DDD-E development model. The instruments used in the development of educational games are documentation and questionnaires. The research subjects consisted of 2 media experts, 2 material experts, 2 linguists and 30 potential users. The test results show that the educational games for the data communication course get good categories from media experts, material experts, and linguists, while the responses of potential users get very good categories.
