Abstract In nowadays there are many kinds of problems in the system of higher education

One of them is everyday students get very huge amount of information All of them take very

big amount of time for a student to understand lesson and it is very hard for himher to do

everything in time This paper explains a study of work microlearning application for computer

networks It consists of general introduction and purpose

1 Introduction

In learning and developing environments macro meso and micro parts are used Macro contains meso

parts meso contains micro parts (this presents the smallest part of them) and all of them construct

together products For example in computer science to make a big project (macro) is divided into

subprojects (meso) and then each subproject contains its modules (micro) It is called ldquodivide and

conquerrdquo This example shows that in learning it is important to begin from small parts to construct

big parts Microlearning is a new method of teaching which become more popular day by day

According to Hug[1][2] there are 7 dimensions of microlearning

Time Each topic can be touched at most 5-7 minutes If topic is more complex it is divided

into small parts For example IPv4 topic is separated 4 small parts represented in 4

microlessons below

Content Each topic is represented in A4 page where topic description simple test or simple

tasks are given

Curriculum As shown in microlessons below topics are divided into small subtopics

Form Mostly each Computer Network protocol is taken simpler as can be for example to

explain IPv4 addresses types can be given comparison with a university within many groups

and some students in those groups

Process Learning of Computer Networks is same as swimming it needs a lot of practice

Because each topic contains simple test questions and tasks students can solve each of them

in 2-10 minutes

Mediality Microlearning in Computer Networks is prepared as book in PDF format with

hyperlinks It can be also used in cell phones because of PDF format

Learning type In class there is a projector where lecturer shows A4 page then after

explanation studentsrsquo answers for test questions and do simple tasks

To pass through all subjects it will be better to use literature in microlearning style which provides

understanding of Computer Networks terminology in basic way by dividing information into small

micro parts which have a log of graphics and pictures and not too many words for explanation These

examples show that in learning it is important to begin from small parts to construct big parts

2 Microlearning in Computer Networks

Computer Networks have a lot of educational resources such as Cisco Networking Academy [3] and

world of network [4] These resources are good for experts but not for beginners because people are

afraid of things that they do not know

Microlearning gives students opportunity to learn computer networks without fear

In this section we demonstrate 4 microlessons

This is topic Lesson 1 ndash IPv4 Characteristics

Now begins explanation of this topic

Consists of 32 bits

Divided into 4 octets

Each octed consists of 8 bits (1byte)

Represented in decimal form

Example of IPv4 address 192168121

Computer works only with binary numeral system to understand listed above IPv4 address computer

converts it from decimal to binary

Table 1 Shows decimal and binary representations of IPv4 address

th octed

Decimal representation 192 168 1 21

Binary representation 11000000 10101000 00000001 00010101

Now we make a simple test to check and revise

Grouprsquos and studentrsquos names in university are good examples of network and host addresses in

computer networks In Green group there are students A B C and in Red group can be same names of

students and they are unique only in group In figure 2 represented example of comparison network

addresses host addresses with university groups and students

Figure 2 Groups and students in comparison with network addresses and host addresses

Network address

Network address is the common part of every networking device in same network (cannot be assigned

to networking device)

Host address

Host address is the unique address of networking device in single network

Broadcast address

Broadcast address is the common address for all networking devices in one network which is usually

used to make request to all devices in same network (cannot be assigned to networking device)

Lesson 4 - Finding Network Host and Broadcast addresses in IPv4

IPv4 Characteristics

Consists of 32 bits

Separated into Network and Host addresses by prefix

Prefix defines number of bits of Network address starts from the left side

Subnet mask shows how many bits belong to network address defined by prefix

Broadcast address is the last combination in host address portion

good feedback from them Now students provide more interest for subject and learn more material

than in previous years Our paper shows how to use microlearning principles in teaching computer

Microlearning gives a great opportunity to mankind to be more educated Now every person

unconsciously uses the microlearning approach while reading tutorials forums wiki blogs and other

resources We started to teach students in our university by using microlearning method and we have

good feedback from them Now students provide more interest for subject and learn more material

than in previous years Our paper shows how to use microlearning principles in teaching computer

networks This study is new and needs more research in this area We already established

ldquoMicrolearning Research Centerrdquo in our university in future we plan to develop it and provide

Microlearning method to other universities to solve problem of higher education
