Information Security (IS) Training: Instructional Design Project.

This project examined instructional design considerations for information security (IS) training required by IS-related contractual and regulatory requirements. Project tasks included examination of learning theories and theorists to support formal annual IS training instructional design and development activities. IS education, training, and awareness (ISETA)-related literature was reviewed and a standardized definition of ISETA program components proposed for academic and practitioner use. An IS training module for a fictitious organization was developed using a behavioral-based learning approach with minimal cognitive need anticipated from participants. The module was deployed on an online learning portal and presented to a small review group of adult learners. This project will be of interest to IS practitioners as they are often tasked with creating ISETA programs but may not have instructional design training or context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
