An Immersive Security Education Environment (I-SEE) Using Second Life

计算机科学（31）参与该项目的教师将在“第二人生”中开发三个关于计算机安全主题的创造性学习模块：（1）一个学习模块，以提高学生对如何帮助企业保护自己免受明显的安全威胁的理解;（2）一个学习模块，以深入理解复杂的安全软件和硬件的内部工作原理;（3）一个学习模块，以提高学生对安全软件和硬件的理解。以及（3）一个学习模块，利用“第二人生”作为数字讲故事平台，促进对安全问题的认识和教育。 这个项目是基于一个先前的项目的主要研究者，他们开发了一个原型安全学习环境使用第二人生的结果。PI正在使用设计科学的原则，以开发新的安全教育环境的设计理论和学习科学的原则，以开发新的学习理论在三个学习维度：该项目预计将对全国更广泛的科学和工程界的一般信息技术和安全教育和培训产生积极影响。

Computer Science (31)Faculty in this project are developing three creative learning modules in Second Life on topics in computer security: (1) a learning module to improve students' understanding of what can be done to help businesses protect themselves against obvious security threats; (2) a learning module to develop a deep understanding of the inner workings of complex security software and hardware; and (3) a learning module that promotes awareness and education of security issues using Second Life as a digital storytelling platform. This project is based on the results of a prior project by the Principal Investigators in which they developed a prototype security learning environment using Second Life.The PIs are using the principles of design science to develop new design theories of a security education environment and the principles of learning science to develop new learning theories in three learning dimensions: information states, security services, and security countermeasures.This project is expected to have a positive influence on general information technology and security education and training in broader scientific and engineering communities throughout the nation.
