that if things go seriously wrongon a VPS, there is no physical machine to manually reboot. A laboratory administrator must befound to reboot the container from a master control utility. On the other hand, as a testament tothe quality of the isolation of the containers from each other, we have had no instances in whicha student’s application has been able to damage a VPS other than his own.Another limitation from a teaching perspective is that in order to maximize the efficiency of thesystem, software that is common to all the containers on the server should be pre-installed by thesystem administrator. This software image is then shared by all the VPS. This is not desirable ifwe need to give students experience with system administration tasks

Page 13.755.7Conclusions and Future WorkIn this paper, we describe the ongoing development of the integrated telecom curriculum andlaboratories. Currently, we already have most of the described equipments. Next, we plan onsetting up and testing the DMS-10, IP/PBX and the SONET devices. Following the testing, wewill interconnect the different networks. Additionally, we will develop new courses and labactivities to fully utilize the integrated laboratory resources. We also plan to evaluate how thisnew integrated laboratory affects teaching and the learning

acquired.ConclusionThe teaching of attack understanding based information assurance requires the use ofguaranteed isolation of laboratory networks. Providing Distance Education courses witha remote laboratory network presents challenges to providing adequate isolation. The useof IP-KVM switches adds a very strong layer of isolation, and in combination with theuse of emulation software such as VMWare or other virtual operating systemenvironment, provides an adequately isolated laboratory network for some exercises.References[1] Frincke, D., “Who watches the security educators?”, Security & Privacy Magazine, IEEE Volume 1, Issue 3, May-June 2003 Page(s):56 – 58[2] Eppes, T. & Schuyler, P., “A General-Purpose Distance Lab System

curricula.Baccalaureate curricula were designed to allow students completing their Associate’s degrees ata satellite campus to transfer to the main campus and complete their Baccalaureate Degreecoursework.Known colloquially as the “2+2” system, this approach created a significant critical path concernin the networking degree plan of study. The satellite campuses do not have the faculty expertise,nor the space and funds to teach laboratory-based networking courses. As a result, all corelaboratory-based networking courses had to be delivered in the junior and senior years. Studentstook the majority of their non-core courses in the first two years, then took predominatelylaboratory-based core courses in their last two years.This created several curriculum design

The labs run on real devices which needs a budget. Those networks aremaintained by technical staff and shared by all the users, so students only have limited access tothe networks. Besides the traditional networking laboratories performed on real devices, there aresome other approaches to teach networking labs, such as virtual lab software13 and simulationtools. Simulation software1,5,8 can be used to simulate the network environment, so realequipment and networks are not necessary. For example, VMWare1,12 is used widely in theteaching of computer networks

We describe the curricular context, pedagogical approach, andoutcomes along with a detailed description of the approaches and strategies we used to develop ahands-on laboratory component that can be replicated by others seeking to develop similarcourses.

Pusey’s statement concerning funding for a computer laboratory:“Harvard did not get to be where it is by spending old money on new things.”3It is possible that the Second World War delayed the academic progress of computing bydiverting academics such as Vannevar Bush and John von Neumann into national service;however the government resources that continued to be poured into computing followingthe war followed these scholars and others back to university laboratories upon theirreturn. The result was thriving university research at facilities that were well connected.The first academic computer activity consisted of course offerings to graduate studentsfollowing the war.
