This article discussed a evaluation of apprenticeship in computer networks through Netkit virtualization tool,
and what strategies can be used to improve learning, proposing a working method that can be used in the
classroom, or even in the homes of students in disciplines of education distance. It should be noted that the
main contribution of this paper is to demonstrate the effectiveness of using the tool as a means of improving the
process of teaching and learning in the disciplines of computer networks. Meanwhile, there was the
development of study material following the models described here are available at website
, this is the first study material using Netkit available in Portuguese, for the full
course of networks. It is possible to completely observe the benefits of network virtualization in education, and
in particular the use of Netkit tool in expanding the depth of content taught and the effectiveness of practical
learning facilitated by the tool.
