Abstract
Students do not only learn by reading textbooks and listening to their professors. They also learn by answering questions challenging their knowledge and enabling them learn from their mistakes. In this paper, we present a set of automated exercises that empower students to learn in an online setting. These exercises take the form of cloze-like tests requiring students to fill in missing packet field values of several key Internet protocols. Those educational resources are open and free to use. We invite the computer networking teaching community to collaborate to add new exercises covering further key Internet protocols.
