We had a wonderful workshop with 89 attendees, and lots of interesting ideas and directions discussed.  Among the "outputs" from the workshop, we expect to shortly have:

• A short workshop summary report, that is currently being prepared by the organizers
• A list of "We'd-be-emabarrassed-if-our-students-didn't-know-these-topics-after-completing-our-introductory-networking-course" topics.  Also, a discussion of why these are important topics.  The goal is for this effort to evolve into a SIGCOMM-supplement to the IEEE/ACM 2002 Curriculum recommendations. (Shawn Ostermann is leading this effort)
• A www page of lab-related resources (Sanjay Jha has volunteered to lead this effort)
• A www page of networking course www pages and syllabi  (Maurice Aburdene has volunteered to lead this effort)
• Liasons to related efforts in computer engineering (Miguel Labrador) and IEEE Communication Society (Dave Tipper)
• A collection of 25 informal white papers that were submitted to the workshop.
• An open mailing list of people interested in discussion networking-related aspects of education and learning. Information about joining/removing yourself to/from the list is here.

The ppt/pdf presentations that were made at the workshop are available below.  The original Call for Participation is here.
