Cybersecurity experts will interactively explore and apply principles of learner centered instructional strategies that are rooted in research about how adults learn. Instructional strategies include: (1) Incorporating effective faculty-student, student-content, and student-student communication; (2) Integrating reflective and collaborative learning experiences; (3) Utilizing problem-based and inquiry-based learning models; (4) Measuring student learning through challenging and engaging assessments and rubrics; and (5) Using media and technology in engaging and effective ways. Through readings, online lectures, and online activities, students will explore the principles of effective teaching by synthesizing and capitalizing on their cybersecurity experiences to produce products that demonstrate their understanding of and ability to apply key principles of teaching and learning in higher education. In addition, students will explore how to create learning objectives, course activities and assignments, a syllabus and course shell, and a personal teaching philosophy statement.

This course prepares cybersecurity professionals to teach and perform faculty duties in cybersecurity at the level of post-secondary education with emphasis in three areas: integration of technology, development and evaluation of cyber curriculum, and educational leadership. Participants will model a variety of active learning strategies (e.g., cooperative learning, case study, interactive lecturing, discussion, critical thinking, and role-playing) and will immerse themselves in thoughtful discussions addressing educational theory and practice. By combining action and analysis, they will expand their personal teaching skills to promote learning within a diverse student body across a variety of post-secondary education settings. Throughout this exploration of teaching and learning, we will discuss the ways in which teachers' choices grow out of beliefs and experiences and how those choices ultimately influence student learning.
