High School Tech Mastery: Computer Networking Training Platform

This paper presents the development, implementation, and validation of a platform designed to enhance high school students’ preparation for the Applied Informatics Olympiad AcadNet and the CCNA exam - both focused on computer networking concepts. The platform integrates theoretical quizzes and practical exercises to facilitate comprehensive learning. It features role-based access management to ensure security and provides tailored functionalities based on user roles. Students can develop network configuration skills through hands-on tasks performed within a virtual machine environment. Evaluation involving both students and educators demonstrated the platform’s userfriendly interface and educational effectiveness. Planned enhancements include optimizing virtual machine access and further refining the user experience.
