description In this work, we studied the online blended learning model of computer network experimentation, focusing mainly on the problem of traditional network experiments being limited by location and time, and explore the applicability of the small private online course (SPOC) advanced teaching concepts to computer network online experiment teaching. Based on the structure of a combination of virtual and real, real and not virtual, an online network experiment platform and management system has been designed and constructed, enabling students to carry out remote online computer network hardware experiments anytime and anywhere, without being restricted by time, space, or content. Using the online network experiment platform, we can organize the experimental modules and knowledge points via the SPOC course concept, by developing online network experimental content, modularizing and fragmenting of the experiments, creating the pre-experimental explanation and experiment preview videos, and evaluating the assignments via peer grading to analyze students’ learning behavior. By exploring online network experimental teaching methods and management models, offering experimental guidance in an interactive manner, and highlighting the openness and sharing characteristics of online experimental teaching platforms, we can improve the utilization rate for teaching resources, and provide ideas for applied scientific research methods.
