IMPLEMENTATION OF A LABORATORY FOR REMOTE ACCESS AND SUPPORT FOR TEACHING THE DISCIPLINE OF COMPUTER NETWORKS IN A BRAZILIAN PUBLIC UNIVERSITY

Abstract

This article describes the implementation of a methodology used to support the disciplines of computer networks, in undergraduate courses in the Department of Academic Computing UTFPR – Campus Curitiba. Considering the difficulty of mounting network equipment for use in teaching labs and a waste of time and resource efficiency over the work of assembling and disassembling the technological apparatus for each meeting, we sought a way to improve the efficiency of this use by developing a proposal for a laboratory with the necessary equipment to use and the possibility of online use, in order to provide the technological apparatus for students to use, wherever they are. With the implementation of Remote Access Laboratory (LAR) was possible to gain efficiency in time for classes, as it possible to pass on to students extracurricular activities that could be done remotely.
