Abstract
The Education program of the NSF TRUST Science and Technology Center aims to develop and disseminate on-line learning resources that can be used by educators to address security issues in multiple disciplines and multi-disciplinary contexts. We report on a pilot project for this approach where an on-line module was created to introduce security issues in a chemical engineering capstone design course. The module teaches concepts developed for computer system security, specifically role-based access control, using a pedagogical approach known as anchored instruction. Adaptation is used in this module at multiple levels. At the design level, the module is based on an instructional design pattern for anchored inquiry that is independently reusable for other applications of this teaching style. At the content level, adaptive techniques are used to specialize learning resources for the module’s audience. A web-based learning platform adaptively scaffolds learners as they progress through a set of learning activities in solving an overarching challenge. We reflect on the process of creating this module and discuss issues for creating other adaptive resources for TRUST.
