Abstract
Effective provision of cybersecurity requires practitioners that are able to work collaboratively to solve practical real-world problems. However, the extent to which these skills are supported by current higher education programmes is potentially limited [1]. We consequently need forms of education that understand the interdisciplinary nature of the field, as well as at the development of joint action in context: being able to act in a variety of situations and knowing how to do this together. This paper describes the process and result of an assignment that was designed in the context of the Coltrane project (The Coltrane Project is funded under the Erasmus+ program. https://coltrane.ait.ac.at/) on Cybersecurity awareness in education. The aim of the assignment was improving students’ cybersecurity awareness through collaboratively analysing and understanding (open) data. This has implications for Technology Enhanced Learning for future citizens.
