In this paper, we have tried to fill up the gap that we found in
related research work that primarily focusses on the use of
various virtualization tools, their advantages and challenges
from an organizational and management perspective. We
developed a questionnaire to collect data from the students of
various age groups doing various levels of computer networking
courses. Views of students were collected about whether the
virtualization has helped them in developing necessary skills and
learning of the computer networking concepts or not or up to
what level these virtualization tools are helpful. Our objective
was to address the student’s point of view towards learning
networking courses using virtualization tools. In this paper we
have identified that the virtualization tools have greatly helped
students in learning computer networking concepts, the students
who had just finished high school, found virtualization very
interesting and helpful in learning networking however the
students who had completed bachelor degrees or had some
networking experience were not as satisfied.
