Abstract :
This paper analyzes the problems of the instruction of computer network course and puts forward an inquiry-based learning system which is cost-effective and based on network simulation. The learning system consists of a network simulation platform, an inquiry-based teaching plan and a set of network simulation model. The paper presents that how the design of the learning system motivates the students, reduces the abstract of the content of course and saves the cost of teaching instruments.
