Abstract:
This paper shows the building of an embedded Asterisk platform as a key technique for providing Information
Technology classes with an extra laboratorial environment for learning Voice over Internet Protocol. Besides
building the platform, the students are asked to mount a functional telephony system with it that meets the
criteria of low cost, low building complexity and high adaptability to convergent networks. The Raspberry PI
version B was the board used to provide portability for the students to work outside the laboratory
environment. Asterisk was presented as a useful tool on which the students could create a flexible system that
could be easily deployed on convergent networks. This work was developed in the Telephony subject for the
Electrical Engineering and the Telecommunications Systems undergraduate courses from the Federal Institute
of Education, Science and Technology of Paraíba – IFPB, and presented good results in the students´ learning
achievements.
