This proposal seeks to improve the educational experience of cyber operations students around the nation by creating and deploying culturally diverse educational content in a proven remotely accessible environment, allowing students and faculty to obtain vital hands-on experience. While several academic institutions are developing programs dedicated to cyber operations, and many more are attempting to incorporate materials designed to give students a strong fundamental understanding of the challenges in this arena, experiential learning opportunities are currently limited by individual institutional funding; the need to provide isolated lab infrastructure in which these topics can be safely studied; and the challenges associated with developing realistic multicultural scenarios. This CyberCorps: SFS capacity-building proposal seeks to build on the successful NSF-funded Remotely Accessible Virtualized Environment (RAVE) Project and a decade of experience at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) in developing and delivering computer security lab environments and exercises. It develops cyber operations exercises and makes them available to faculty and students at institutions around the nation at no charge. This project incorporates culturally-appropriate virtual machines to extend the realism of the resulting scenarios which have a consistent format following the NSF-funded Security Injections @ Towson presentation model. The project uses an external evaluator specializing in the use of remotely accessible environments.

该提案旨在通过在经过验证的远程访问环境中创建和部署文化多样性的教育内容，改善全国各地网络操作学生的教育体验，使学生和教师能够获得重要的实践经验。虽然几个学术机构正在开发专门用于网络操作的程序，更多的是试图将旨在让学生对这个竞技场的挑战有很强的基本理解的材料，但体验式学习的机会目前受到个别机构资金的限制;需要提供隔离的实验室基础设施，以便安全地研究这些主题;以及与发展现实的多元文化情景相关的挑战。CyberCorps：SFS能力建设提案旨在建立在成功的NSF资助的远程可扩展虚拟化环境（RAVE）项目和阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯（UAF）在开发和提供计算机安全实验室环境和演习方面的十年经验的基础上。它开发网络操作练习，并免费提供给全国各地机构的教师和学生。该项目结合了文化上合适的虚拟机，以扩展所产生的场景的真实性，这些场景具有一致的格式，遵循NSF资助的Security Injections @ Towson演示模型。该项目使用了一名专门从事远程访问环境使用的外部评估员。
