CISSCO

Opportunity

As networking systems continue to evolve in complexity, new

curricula and educational tools are emerging to facilitate teaching

and learning about networking technology. The Cisco Networking

Academy® program is designed to keep pace with the evolu-

tion of networking systems by providing innovative curricula and

educational tools that help students understand the complexities

of information and communication technologies (ICTs). Within

this framework, the Cisco® Packet Tracer e-learning software was

developed to help Networking Academy students gain practical

networking technology skills in a rapidly changing environment.

Students seeking ICT skills can now benefit from the accessibility

of online curricula and new opportunities for social learning, col-

laboration, and competition.Packet Tracer supplements physical equipment in the classroom

by allowing students to create a network with an almost unlimited

number of devices, encouraging practice, discovery, and trouble-

shooting. The simulation-based learning environment helps

students develop 21st century skills such as decision making,

creative and critical thinking, and problem solving.

Packet Tracer complements the Networking Academy curricula,

allowing instructors to easily teach and demonstrate complex

technical concepts and networking systems design. Instruc-

tors can customize individual or multiuser activities, providing

hands-on lessons for students that offer value and relevance in

their classrooms. Students can build, configure, and troubleshoot

networks using virtual equipment and simulated connections,

alone or in collaboration with other students. Packet Tracer offers
