Utilizing chatgpt for teaching computer networking

Nur Idawati Md Enzai

Abstract

ChatGPT has taken the world by storm in recent years with its ability to interact and respond in a _human way_ form. Despite the warm reception, there are also concerns regarding integrity, plagiarism and worry about too much reliance on ChatGPT. Nevertheless, just like with other technologies, resistance is futile, yet its benefit must be embraced while maintaining some guidelines to be adhered. This paper presents the implementation of ChatGPT in teaching and learning theoretical parts of Introduction to Networking course. Though this is a laboratory-embedded course, the cognitive skills part still contributes to 40% of the assessment. It is challenging to maintain engagement and attract the attention of students during lecture sessions compared to laboratory sessions. Therefore, ChatGPT is utilized in various techniques to achieve the mentioned objective. Keywords: ChatGPT, Education, Teaching, Learning, Networking
