Abstract

Testbed environments are well-used for research involving Computer Networks, however, few studies explore its potential for supporting teaching activities. Furthermore, there is no system to guide the teacher in the use of these environments to enhance student learning, neither evaluation techniques that consider their particularities. In this article, we introduce the results of the application of an evaluation RUBIK created to support the teacher in the preparation and validation of courses using testbeds. The results showed that our approach helps the teacher by identifying strengths and weaknesses, in addition to promoting student-centered learning.

Keywords: Testbed, evaluation, RUBIK
