The GEC19 outbrief highlights the integration of GENI in classroom settings, showcasing experiences from educators like Prasad Calyam and Jelena Marasevic. Their use of cloud computing and WiMAX in courses illustrated effective hands-on learning. The session also featured a roundtable discussion among advanced experimenters, addressing common challenges and resource management issues. Upcoming tutorials, including those for SIGCOMM 2014, promise more training opportunities. Overall, the emphasis is on expanding resources and enhancing educational material for diverse networking concepts.

GENI-in-the Classroom • Prasad Calyam (Missouri) and Jelena Marasevic (Columbia): Experiences using GENI in their classroom last Fall • Prasad – Cloud Computing – Assignments with AWS and GENI • GENI exercises used the GENI OF backbone • Jelena – WiMAX class – Students learn first-hand the vagaries of wireless networks • Overall, students had good learning experiences • Both Prasad and Jelena plan on using GENI again
GENI-in-the-Classroom • Jay, Fraida and Mike building educational resources • Should have a good body of material ready by Fall 2014 • Modules (videos, instructor guides) used by instructor to teach networking concepts • Exercises for students to do • Classroom-as-a-Service: Available now – Email Fraida Fund @ NY Poly • Short networking class for the masses in MOOC format this summer
Experimenter-Developer Roundtable • Invited five advanced experimenters to talk about their experiences using GENI • Stitching, OpenFlow, Resource intensive • Well attended by developers • Common complaints • Problems with losing resources (mostly due to expiration) • Need to start experiment from scratch if something goes wrong: • Can’t replace resources the expired/didn’t come up • Related: Can’t grow experiment • OS images • Standard: Images that are available on all aggregates • Portable: From one aggregate type to another
Tutorials • 11 tutorials, 5 new • Running RINA on GENI • Inter-Aggregate Experiments • Developing SDN applications w/ OpenDaylight • Distributed computing with GENI: Hadoop in a Slice • Train the Admin • Thanks: • Tutorial leaders • Don and Russ for logistics • Network worked very well – made for a good tutorial experience • Printing tutorial instructions • EG and IG teams – watching over resources • More tutorials than any other GEC • Not counting repeated tutorials • Growing diversity of interests and experiences of experimenters • Possible because of the much larger number of racks available
Upcoming Training Opportunities • Tutorial slides and instructions online • Do try them at home • GENI Tutorial at SIGCOMM 2014 – August 2014 • GENI Summer Camp @ Iowa State U. • Probably last week of May (starting Wed after Memorial Day) • Join the geni-users Google Group • Ask questions, support fellow experimenters
