Speakers:
Te-Shun Chou – Associate Professor ECU
Nicholas Hempenius – Graduate Student ECU
Abstract
We implement a unique learning system that incorporates gaming to provide comprehensive cybersecurity awareness education. The system infrastructure includes a number of learning environments and each emulates a realistic network. Multiple virtual machines are implemented in each learning environment and those serve both tasks of attack and defense. In addition, the infrastructure allows interaction among learning environments, therefore making it more similar to a realistic world network.
The infrastructure facilitates a competition environment encouraging students to interact with each other. Students who successfully launch attacks will gain points; conversely, students who do not successfully implement a mechanism to prevent the corresponding attack will lose points. A website is developed for students accessing and completing the required tasks at their own paces. This personalized learning experience allows the student to be an active participant in the learning process. This self-guided approach makes learning enjoyable and is effective in improving student learning and understanding.
