Abstract

In this era of technological abundance, it is difficult to imagine cyber education outside the cyberspace. The purpose of this paper is to extend the growing body of research on cyber education, by reporting the experiences of a Cybersecurity department cu toff from Internet access. The value of Cyber education is expressed even beyond the cyberspace. This qualitative exploratory study uses semistructured interviews and content analysis to collect a wide variety of rich data in order to demonstrate the need and possibility of cyber education, even without Internet access. Willingness to learn and the hope of a fulfilled career were found to be the most significant factors for students' continual motivation. The presence of an eminent “force majeure” was seen more as an opportunity for novel explorations. In contrast to customary thinking, the constructs of information security and assurance were fully fledged outside the cyberspace.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
