The Impact of Regional Cyber Defense Competitions on Student Motivation, Engagement, and Curriculum at Champlain College
Student participation in cyber defense competitions provides an environment different from a normal classroom/lab situation and thereby providing an opportunity for alternative learning and motivation. These competitions are characterized by intense three-day situational exposure to real-life network management, administration and security issues. This experience appears to increase motivation and engagement in student’s learning. Students who participate in these competitions gain a perspective of the limits of their current knowledge, the benefits of a more extensive understanding of technical concepts, and the significance of integrating content from a number of areas.
The Colloquium™ recognizes that the protection of information and infrastructures that are used to create, store, process, and communicate information is vital to business continuity and security. The goal of The Colloquium™ is to work together to define current and emerging requirements for information assurance education and to influence and encourage the development and expansion of information assurance curricula, especially at the graduate and undergraduate levels.
