The ilab series — Teaching lab courses with joy at scale

The iLab series is a set of lab courses typically related to teaching Computer Networks and Distributed Sytems knowledge to university students. It is continuously developed since 2003 by Marc-Oliver Pahl.

All courses in the iLab series follow the teaching methodology published in the IEEE Communications Magazine. The teaching cncept is backed by a specifically developed eLearning system, the labsystem.

The iLab series currently consists of:

• iLab2 - You set the Focus! (since 2010), and
• iLabX - The virtual Internet Laboratory (since 2018) are lab courses that I designed that run very successfully with more than 2000 participants at different German Universities.
• iLabS - Secure Internet Measurements (since 2018),
• iLabX - The Internet Masterclass (since 2019).
• At University of Tübingen there are also two iLabs running at the Lehrstuhl für Kommunikationsnetze of Prof. Michael Menth.
