Session 55: Digital forensics and cyber-crime taxonomy

Abstract

This presentation outlines our LJMU Teaching and Learning Academy (TLA) funded project "Digital Forensics and Cyber Crime Taxonomy." Our investigation focuses on the development of an inclusive curriculum for cyber security education and application of student and staff voices to enhance the university experience. Drawing upon the insights collected from focus group discussions (both academic staff and students) and the resultant project deliverables, our project seeks to enrich the pedagogy of cyber security education. Our approaches are designed to foster the development of students' problem-solving and analytical skills.

Through the integration of student reflections, our efforts are directed towards fostering a learning environment that is conducive to diverse learner needs and promotes a nuanced understanding of the subject matter. Thus, our project strives to elevate the efficacy of cyber teaching and learning through the provision of comprehensive instructional resources tailored to the cyber security education.

This presentation would be interesting to staff and students interested in learning more about using reference models, flowcharts, and taxonomies to explain the intricacies of cyber-attacks and to lead learners to giving more in-depth responses. Utilizing flowcharts offers the advantage of visually mapping out processes, enhancing clarity; having prompts and questions at each stages helps develop the level of detail in responses.
