Practical experience of security and forensic computing is of increasing relevance for student employability. Further, courses related to these topics have increased in student popularity. Learning by doing/or experiential learning is an effective pedagogical way to help students constructively build up their knowledge, especially for these courses.
To improve student engagement and employability and make these courses sustainable, this project aims to develop a portable unified constructivist-learning environment using virtualisation technology and design a wide spectrum of hands-on materials on both security and forensic computing topics to offer students a great chance to learn by doing and breaking.
