This paper describes an approach to engage hands-on learners in research activities. As a part of this method, students are required to post a question about each assigned reading and answer at least two questions from their peers. In order to complete this task, students must read assigned textbook chapters and articles as well as perform additional research in order to answer questions. This type of assignment encourages research and promotes student interest in the study of information security.
