A Distributed Cognition and Project Practice Based Teaching Method for LAN Technology Course

摘要

With the development of information society, the Local Area Network (LAN) technology has become an important part of the computer science and other related disciplines in the universities. In this paper, we analyze the teaching status of LAN technology course and aim to solve some problems existing in its current education. Under the guidance of the distributed cognitive theory, a novel teaching method is proposed to improve teaching quality. This approach is combined with the project practice teaching method to help students to actively learn. It concentrates on the student practical activities under the teacher guidance and emphasizes to combine theory with practice. Through 2-year course in practice, the effectiveness and feasibility of this approach have been proved.
