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所学到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。有几个教材，没有共识的知识单位和学习目标，以及如何最好地将可用的安全概念纳入安全课程的研究很少。目前的项目将遵循一个系统的教学设计过程，以分析，设计，开发和评估可用的安全和隐私教育的知识体系。 研究者将领导一个专家社区，确定和组织教学目标和知识单元，沿着相关的概念，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社区进一步课程开发的基础。 将通过一套在线学习模块对知识体系的一部分进行评估。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，以便在多个机构的各种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研究如何在各种设置中积极吸引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。研究结果将使学习材料、课程和研究的进一步发展成为可用的安全和隐私的新的教学方法。

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.
