Using a specifically designed network established and situated at Curtin University, participants can access the remote equipment via the Internet, performing the network design and configuration exercises from any location

The virtual classroom provides the facilities for students to talk to one another as well as communicate with the instructors, similar to a normal classroom environment. The lectures are recorded and made available in audio files on the project website along with other teaching materials for easy access by the students at any time. Remote communications occur via VoIP, with most students using freeware applications such as Skype & Ventrilo.

To aid in the understanding of mathematical subjects such as binary and hexadecimal conversions, tactile devices have been developed.  The picture above illustrate an instructor and students working with the "pegboard", a device that allows the tactile calculation of networking mathematics. Network "dominoes" are also used to describe the physical layout of networks. All devices are made of commonly available materials and easy to manufacture locally.
