CyberSecurity

This module teaches cybersecurity through a game-based approach. Players enter an escape room where they learn to protect a network by solving puzzles related to cybersecurity threats. Each stage of the game builds on their knowledge and skills, ending with them securing a network from a cyber attack.

Problem

Many people find traditional cybersecurity courses unengaging and overly technical, making them unappealing and difficult to follow. This often leads to a lack of interest in learning essential cybersecurity measures, leaving individuals vulnerable to common cyber threats such as phishing and malware.

Solution

The cybersecurity escape room module offers an exciting, game-based way for everyone to learn about cyber threats and how to counter them. Participants will tackle interactive puzzles that simulate real cybersecurity challenges and learn vital skills to detect and defend against cyber attacks in an engaging setting.

My Process

01

Define the goal

Through research and Action Mapping, I analyze learners' needs, identify key performance problems, and determine a series of high-priority actions to address these issues.

02

design the solution

After identifying key actions, I create an immersive storyboard showcasing real-life problems and their consequences. I also create a prototype with all necessary visual and interactive elements.

03

develop the experience

Once I receive feedback of the prototype, I use authoring tools to develop the entire experience with a focus on every detail. This step includes extensive testing and iterations.

Design The Solution

Text-based Storyboard

I designed each stage of our cybersecurity-themed e-learning module to simulate critical security challenges that employees encounter, such as detecting phishing attempts, configuring firewalls, and responding to network breaches. I carefully constructed scenarios that require learners to apply their knowledge in a controlled environment, allowing them to see the immediate impact of their decisions on system security.

Interactive prototype

I adopted an iterative approach to design and refinement.

Each feature was carefully scripted to simulate real-world cybersecurity tasks, from identifying breaches to implementing security measures.

The prototype underwent multiple rounds of user testing, where feedback from a diverse learners helped refine the interactions and educational content.
