Hands-on experiences are indispensable to train IT operators. However, it is often difficult to conduct hands-on practices in many locations due to lack of resources such as PCs and network equipments. The cost of gathering lecturers and participants at one hands-on site is another possible problem in this situation. Utilization of remotely located hands-on environment is one of the solution to solve these problems. StarBED is a testbed facility for conducting network experiments. Installation of any OSes, adjusting the network topologies according to the requirements can be easily realized utilizing StarBED and SpringOS. A software suite, SpringOS, was developed exclusively for automating the experiment setups in StarBED. This facility could be used to address the problems of lack of resources and high cost for traveling. This research conducted a region-wide remote hands-on workshop utilizing the StarBED inviting 42 participants from 10 Asian countries. The workshop was designed so that the remote participants do not have to travel to single place, and prepare same specification PCs at each site. Through the collected data and feedback, the proposed workshop model was proved to be feasible and effective. This paper describes the requirements and approaches for region-wide remote hands-on workshop utilizing StarBED for building target hands-on environment. As the contents of the conducted workshop could be applied to the general IT human resource development programs, this paper could be useful for the future remote hands-on programs to train IT operators.
