Creating Your Own Hands-on Cybersecurity Exercises

Cybersecurity is a topic of growing interest. Do you have hands-on exercises that match the skills and levels of your students? Over the last few years, we have worked on making it easier to create, modify, and deploy exercises with assessment questions. EDURange is an open source project with exercises that span a wide range and can serve as templates for new ones. In addition to providing a framework for editing exercises, EDURange also allows Instructors to see student interaction and offer hints while they are doing the exercise. The features, that support this include chat with the instructor and machine learning algorithms for identifying which students need help.

Abstract

Cybersecurity is a topic of growing interest. Do you have hands-on exercises that match the skills and levels of your students? Over the last few years, we have worked on making it easier to create, modify, and deploy exercises with assessment questions. EDURange is an open source project with exercises that span a wide range and can serve as templates for new ones. In addition to providing a framework for editing exercises, EDURange also allows Instructors to see student interaction and offer hints while they are doing the exercise. The features, that support this include chat with the instructor and machine learning algorithms for identifying which students need help.
