FIA MOOCs ... Internet on the Internet
The document discusses the lack of a worldwide online simulation for networking education and proposes creating such a simulation. It describes Cisco's Packet Tracer software which allows students to simulate networking and learn without risk of failure. The author details a previous collaboration between Cisco and The Open University to create a multi-user online simulation and argues that such a simulation could grow alongside its user community to provide risk-free, pedagogical networking education on a global scale.

- 11. Scale . Thatwas half the idea What you saw was the UK side of a UK><USA project last year between Cisco Systems and the Open University Its not about simulating a network (as OPNET and NS2 are already doing this) It is about simulating a network structure that replicates the ‘human’ norm of adding, removing systems and enables students to learn how!!!
- 12. Scale .. Youcan keep adding at the edges It does not need to be hosted in one location It can grow as the community of practice grows There is already 1,000,000 students using this platform Work has been done in UK, USA and South America
- 13. Opportunity? Could we Use rich media such as an iBook? Connect PC to Mac to Linux to ‘tablet’? Create a simulated internet on the internet? Enjoy a risk free pedagogical world?
- 14. The end Judge someoneby their questions, rather than their answers. Voltaire
