Abstract:
Information technology in education has improved and has also brought about an easy access to different learning resources. They help to improve teaching skills and learning abilities of students. Cisco Packet Tracer is a powerful network simulation program that allows students to experiment with network behavior and provides simulation, visualization, authoring, assessment, and collaboration capabilities to facilitate the teaching and learning of complex technology concepts. The Activity Wizard allows teachers to author their own learning activities by setting up scenarios using instructional text, and creating initial and final network topologies and predefined packets. The Activity Wizard also includes grading and feedback capabilities.
