Abstract
This papers presents an e-learning platform that improves the current state of the art by successfully integrating four features.
Firstly, it provides a web interface incorporating lecture notes, labs instruction and results. This remote interface also allows the teacher to easily implement new experiments using a high level description language. Secondly, the proposed architecture will provide a low deployment cost without limiting the experimental scope. Thirdly, the new platform can take advantage of many existing and emerging testbeds. Finally, we introduce a new framework for teaching and learning network concepts. Thus a student using this new tool during an introductory course will embrace a less difficult path to perform more advanced studies on currently widely deployed testbed.
