EDU: Enhancing Cybersecurity Education for Native Students Using Virtual Laboratories

这项提议将在Yakama Nation和华盛顿大学博塞尔分校之间建立教育联系，以利用虚拟实验室加强对土著学生的网络安全教育。这些实验室将使用情景来提供网络安全实践方面的实践经验。该项目将使用一种新的网络安全教育方法，重点是为土著学生建立的成功指标。该项目将侧重于在被定义为学业成功关键指标的领域吸引学生的教育设计。它将加强学生在这些关键指示领域的体验，并将开发一个可供其他教育组织利用的架构和软件，以通过虚拟实验室共享资源。这个项目的预期结果是一个由两门课程组成的课程，这两门课程可以在任何水平上教授，但主要针对初中生和高中生。这些课程将利用John Biggs开发的观察到的学习结果分类的结构来接近材料并验证学生的教育进展。该项目将提供社区建设和教育体验，吸引不同的学生和教师，重点关注传统上高等教育成功率较低的学生群体获得成功的机会。安全和值得信赖的网络空间(SATC)计划资助从可信计算系统的角度解决网络安全的建议，从社会学、行为学和经济学的角度解决网络安全的建议，以及完全专注于网络安全教育的建议。该计划将接触到在传统高等教育计划中没有成功的学生群体，并将有助于在现有学生和来自这些群体的未来学生之间建立一个社区。在这个项目中开发的课程和软件将能够被其他想要建立虚拟实验室的原住民学生社区重复使用，无论他们的特定文化背景如何。这项提议将开发一种网络安全教育模式，可用于以低成本向土著学生提供高质量和实用的教育，旨在鼓励他们继续他们的教育道路。

This proposal will develop an educational link between the Yakama Nation and the University of Washington at Bothell to enhance Cybersecurity education for Native students using virtual laboratories. The laboratories will use scenarios to provide hands-on experience in the practical aspects of Cybersecurity. The project will use a new approach to Cybersecurity education that focuses on established success indicators for Native students. The project will focus on an educational design that appeals to the students in areas that are defined as key indicators of academic success. It will enhance students' experiences in these key indicative areas and will develop an architecture and software that can be utilized by other educational organizations to share resources via a virtual laboratory. The expected outcome of this project is a program consisting of two courses that can be taught at any level, but are focused on middle and high school students. These courses will utilize the Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes taxonomy developed by John Biggs to approach the material and validate the educational progress of the students. The project will provide a community-building and educational experience that will engage a diverse set of students and teachers focusing on the opportunity for success for student groups that have traditionally poor success rates in higher education. The Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC) program funds proposals that address Cybersecurity from a Trustworthy Computing Systems perspective; a Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences perspective; and proposals focusing entirely on Cybersecurity Education.The project will reach groups of students that have not had success in traditional higher education programs and will help to establish a community between existing students and future students from these groups. The courses and software developed in this project will be able to be reused for other Native student communities that want to establish virtual laboratories, regardless of their particular cultural backgrounds. This proposal will develop a model for Cybersecurity education that can be used to provide high quality and practical education at a low cost to Native students and is designed to encourage them to continue their education pathways.
