Abstract

The Internet Connectivity module is a short assignment covering distributed computing and networking. The Internet Connectivity module is part of the curriculum created for the Northwest Distributed Computer Science Department and is built upon the Seattle distributed computing platform. In this paper, we describe the module and illustrate how Seattle facilitates networking projects and experiments that use computers/resources from across the globe. In addition, we describe how the Internet Connectivity module was used in two courses, provide some comments on students' reactions to the project, and conclude with suggestions for faculty considering how to use this module in their future courses.
