Abstract:
This paper describes the developed technology for using the
Raspberry Pi microcomputer to teach practical skills on computer networks and
operating systems. The paper presents a largely implemented project on an initiative basis, preceding the work on commercialization of the described results.
In the present work a full detailed content of the steps for implementation and
subsequent commercialization of the solutions presented in the project is given.
There was assembled a prototype of the hardware-software device. There were
developed individual training kits for distribution to students in the classroom.
To study the disciplines “Computer Networks” and “Operating Systems”, a
methodological manual is being prepared for studying these disciplines using
these training kits; the guidelines for operation of devices and components were
developed. The work also prepared boot files with the predefined working environment for each discipline. These files include the needed operating systems,
the needed pre-installed software, a customized user interface, the needed literature, a training manual, and methodological recommendations. In terms of
commercialization, the calculations were carried out on the costs of organizing
a computer class based on the Raspberry Pi: implementation of the developed
technology; the effectiveness of its implementation was evaluated. A commercial plan was drawn up and calculations were made on the current date with the
reference mainly to Kazakhstan; the trial design and layout of the packaging
case, information stickers and cover (as well as layout) of the training manual
were completed; industrial designs were developed in order to prepare the project for commercialization. The results are practically significant, when they
were received, widespread methodology and development tools were used, they
can be universally used, including in the field of education without any restrictions.
