Case studies for teaching physical security and security policy
Xiaohong Yuan, Sahana Murthy, Jinsheng Xu, Huiming Yu · 2010
Teaching with case studies is an important method that engages students in active learning. This paper describes two case studies we developed and our experiences teaching information security with these two case studies. The case studies were used to teach physical security and security policy. Each case study includes the learning objectives, case description and a series of case discussion questions. The case discussion questions were mapped to Bloom's taxonomy and Fink's taxonomy. Our teaching methods and student feedback are described. Our future work will include refining the developed case studies, continuing to evaluate their effectiveness, developing more case studies, and exploring different ways of teaching case studies.
