Laboratory activities

Nothing to print. Everything to click.

Open the lab for today's session. Work as a group, argue before you answer, and read the explanation whether you were right or not.

Know Your Hardware

Seven stations. Name every component, find the parts of a motherboard, identify six ports, and decode a real machine's specification.

Networks & Cables

Eight stations. The four topologies, six network devices, the RJ45 pinout pin by pin, straight-through versus crossover, LAN to WAN, and bandwidth versus latency.

3 October  ·  43 questions

10

Phishing Forensics

Eleven stations. The six tells, eight defanged specimens taken apart one at a time, the Cybercrime Act by category of offence, and where to report. Two of the eight are legitimate — decide which.

11

Data Privacy Clinic

Eight stations. The RA 10173 reference card as the open book, personal against sensitive personal information, and six Philippine cases ruled on in turn — grades, ayuda lists, a leaked database, proctoring, a lending app and a logbook.

Flowchart Workshop

Six stations. Every ANSI/ISO symbol, the three control structures, desk-checking by hand, the six logic errors, and the ten safety-net flowcharts for the relay.

For the instructor

Every lab has an Answer key button in the top-right corner, and the keyboard shortcut Shift + A. Switching it on reveals every correct answer and the teaching notes at once. The whole page turns amber while it is on, so you cannot leave it running by accident while projecting.

Progress is stored in each browser, per group, on that computer only. Nothing is sent anywhere — there is no server-side code, no account, and no tracking. If two groups share a machine, use Reset this group's progress at the foot of a lab before handing over.

What still gets printed

Only the student worksheets — ten copies, one per group. Those stay on paper because groups write on them and hand them in.

Two things also stay on paper on purpose, and should not move to this site: the Session 3 credential slips, because each group must only ever see its own password; and the Session 13 sealed problem envelopes, because the flowchart relay only works if the receiving group has not seen the original brief.
