SaTC-EDU: EAGER: Transforming Usable Security and Privacy Education

可用性被广泛认为是安全和隐私系统设计的重要因素。尽管如此，通过可用的安全和隐私研究获得的经验教训很少作为安全或计算课程的一部分教授给学生。教育材料很少，关于知识单元和学习目标没有达成共识，关于如何最好地将可用的安全概念整合到安全课程中的研究也很少。当前的项目将遵循一个系统的教学设计过程来分析、设计、开发和评估可用的安全和隐私教育的知识体系。调查人员将领导一个专家团体，确定和组织教学目标和知识单元，以及相关的概念、技能和目标。这一知识体系将作为整个可用的安全研究和教育界进一步课程发展的基础。知识体系的一个子集将通过一组在线学习模块进行评估。研究人员将为这些模块设计和开发教学策略和新颖的学习材料，以便在多个机构的不同课程中对学生进行评估。对学生使用和学习模块的评估将有助于检查如何在各种设置中积极地让学生参与可用的安全内容。知识体系和在线模块将向公众开放。研究结果将促进学习材料、课程的进一步发展，以及对可用安全和隐私的新教学方法的研究。

Usability is widely recognized as important to the design of security and privacy systems. Despite this, very few of the lessons learned through usable security and privacy research are taught to students as part of a security or computing curriculum. There are few educational materials, no consensus as to the knowledge units and learning objectives, and little research on how to best integrate usable security concepts into security curricula. The current project will follow a systematic instructional design process to analyze, design, develop, and evaluate a body of knowledge for education in usable security and privacy. Investigators will lead a community of experts in determining and organizing instructional goals and knowledge units, along with the associated concepts, skills, and objectives. This body of knowledge will serve as a foundation for further curricular development throughout the usable security research and education communities. A subset of the body of knowledge will be evaluated through a set of online learning modules. Investigators will design and develop instructional strategies and novel learning materials for these modules, in order to evaluate them on students in various courses at multiple institutions. Evaluation of student use and learning with the modules will help examine how to actively engage students in usable security content in a variety of settings. The body of knowledge and online modules will be publicly available. Research results will enable further development of learning materials, courses, and research into novel instructional methods for usable security and privacy.
