NACL Cover Sheet
I. Decide Upon Audience (classroom learning environment, or “activity system”, how does this activity fit? What prior knowledge does it assume? Is this a whole class activity, small group activity, competitive-team activity, or individual activity?)
NACL is envisioned as a CCNA 2, module 11, lab for small groups or individuals, preferably done in conjunction with a hands-on lab on real routers.
II. Decide Upon Topic (semester, module, TI; claims, evidence, task)
CCNA 2, Module 11, TIs 11.2.3, testing student’s knowledge of dynamic (RIP) routing, static and default routing.
III. Decide Upon Design Pattern (modeling/inquiry concept-building problem OR pre/post lab, configuration, skill building problem OR design problem OR troubleshooting problem OR combination)
The design pattern is skill building – it is not a modeling question, not a design problem, and not a troubleshooting problem, but a step by step attempt to allow students to thoughtfully step through the configuration process.
IV. Decide Upon Type of Assignment (from scratch, pre-existing .pkt, .pka, multi-step) and Type of Guidance (none, built-in, accompanying lab handout, or .swf tutorial); from 1 .pkt you could have various .pka based on it
While primarily intended to be a multi-step .pka that students do several times to get proficient, some teachers and learners prefer printed, lab-style instructions.
V. Author Activity Files (.pkt, .pka, .doc, .gif)
