The high priority that information security education warrants has been recognized since the early 1990's. To address these national needs, many universities have incorporated computer and information security courses into their undergraduate and graduate curricula. In these courses, students learn how to design, implement, analyze, test, and operate a system or a network to achieve the security. Pedagogical research has shown that elective laboratory exercises are critically important to the success of this type of courses. However, such elective laboratories do not exist in computer security education. This project fills this gap, namely to develop elective laboratory exercises for computer security courses. We are developing an instructional operating system (SEINIX); each exercise requires students to add a different security mechanism into the system. The instructional system is designed in such a way that makes it easy for students to focus on the part of the system related to the security concepts that we want them to learn.The Center for Support of Teaching and Learning at Syracuse University will help us in evaluating the electiveness of our approach.

自1990年代初以来，信息安全教育的优先事项已得到认可。为了满足这些国家需求，许多大学都将计算机和信息安全课程纳入了本科和研究生课程。在这些课程中，学生学习如何设计，实施，分析，测试和操作系统或网络以实现安全性。教学研究表明，选修实验室的练习对于此类课程的成功至关重要。但是，这种选修实验室在计算机安全教育中不存在。该项目填补了这一空白，即开发用于计算机安全课程的选修实验室练习。我们正在开发一个教学操作系统（SEINIX）；每个练习都要求学生在系统中添加不同的安全机制。教学系统的设计方式使学生可以轻松地专注于与我们希望他们学习的安全概念相关的系统的一部分。锡拉丘兹大学教学和学习的支持中心将帮助我们评估方法的选民。
