In the last decade, virtual computer laboratories have been successfully used to provide students with hands-on experimentation in information technology fields in a cost effective and secure manner. In this paper, we study the effect of collaborative learning on student perception and acceptance of virtual computing as a learning medium. Virtual computing is a relatively new technology and can be...
As our society increasingly depends on information systems, it is critical for government and private organizations to have access to a talented pool of individuals who are skilled in confronting threats to information security, responding to emergencies, protecting vital information technology assets, and helping to create policies that ensure the privacy of individuals. However, the educational...
With projected high growth in STEM occupations and the desire to keep the U.S. competitive in the global economy, there are many initiatives in STEM education to develop highly skilled workers. In addition to preparing for careers in the STEM fields, it is being more and more recognized that STEM training is a valuable part of an education in any field. The study of STEM fields can lead to the development...
In information security education, learning experiences that involve hands-on experimentation are extremely important. However, information security topics are challenging to teach in traditional computer laboratories mainly due to restrictive information technology policies. In the literature, virtual computer laboratories have been proposed to address the challenges of providing students with hands-on...
This paper discusses the benefits of group work in a Collaborative Virtual Computer Laboratory (CVCLAB) to enhance student learning in information security fields. The CVCLAB integrates virtual machine technologies and pedagogical approaches in a collaborative leaning model to address the challenges in the information security education. A qualitative analysis of student experiences of the CVCLAB...
In this paper, we introduce a collaborative virtual computer laboratory and discuss best strategies to foster student learning using virtual computers, particularly in information security which requires substantial hands-on experimentation to master the subject matter. Unfortunately, information security topics are challenging to teach in traditional computer laboratories mainly due to restrictive...
