CLASSROOM // HOMELAB ACADEMY MODULE 1
MODULE 015 topics / Gate 1

Homelab Academy

Infrastructure & Addressing

Learn / Practice / Test / Reflect inside every topic. Module project, quiz, exam, and remediation close the gate.

Overview

Design chain: Backward Design → Bloom’s Taxonomy → Learn / Practice / Test / Reflect → Mastery → Spiral Review
Feynman teach-back is required in every lesson.

Words

Backward design: module outcome

Student can virtualize a safe lab host, run persistent Compose services on isolated Docker networks, operate containers with update/rollback evidence, and read IPv4 address/mask/gateway to decide same-LAN vs via-gateway delivery.

Learn

Bloom arc

Remember/Understand (IPv4, VM basics) → Apply (Compose, ops) → Analyze (networking)

Learn

Module learning cycle

Orient → Recall → Learn (reading) → Demonstrate (worked example) → Guided practice → Independent practice / homework → Feynman → Lab → Quiz → Feedback → Module project → Module exam → Reflect

Module project Integrated skill (Apply/Create) project.md
Module quiz Retention across topics module-quiz.md
Module exam Mastery verification exam.md
Remediation Re-teach weak areas remediation.md
Pass gate

Practical mastery gate: pass before you continue

Mastery unlock: all boxes true + Feynman complete → continue to the next class
Spiral

Spiral review

Every later module reuses Compose, networks, ops runbooks, and IP literacy when services cannot talk.

Pass gate

Practical gate

Feedback → targeted reading → new practice → redo Feynman Retry → reassessment (see remediation.md).
