Cyber Education outside the Cyberspace: The case of the Catholic University Institute of Buea
Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: In this era of technological abundance, it is difficult to imagine cyber education outside the cyberspace. The purpose of this paper is to extend the growing body of research on cyber education, by reporting the experiences of a Cybersecurity department cu toff from Internet access. The value of Cyber education is expressed even beyond the cyberspace. This qualitative exploratory study uses semistructured interviews and content analysis to collect a wide variety of rich data in order to demonstrate the need and possibility of cyber education, even without Internet access. Willingness to learn and the hope of a fulfilled career were found to be the most significant factors for students' continual motivation. The presence of an eminent “force majeure” was seen more as an opportunity for novel explorations. In contrast to customary thinking, the constructs of information security and assurance were fully fledged outside the cyberspace.
