    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

    Abstract

    This paper shows some experiences and observations on distance education in teaching a Computer Networks course for Computer Science masters students in an US institution. Some lessons and effective strategies to better engage students are presented. Data has been collected to show the effectiveness of distance education in teaching the course. Students' performances for both on-campus and online courses are compared. Based on the results, it is apparent that distance education has been, and will continue to be an effective means for knowledge delivery.
