Abstract

In this digital era of globalization, cybersecurity knowledge is critical for everyone, especially students ready to enter the information technology (IT) field. This Final Year Project aims to develop a web-based platform to enhance students’ understanding of cyber security. This platform will offer an interactive learning module which is covering a variety of topics. For instance, cybersecurity, ethical hacking, digital forensics, and cyber defence practices. This proposed solution leverages modern web technologies to create an engaging and accessible learning environment. Through this platform, students will have an opportunity to explore and learn about some of the theoretical concepts, participate in practical exercises, and test their skills through simulated scenarios on the platform. Other than that, this platform will include some of the features such as progress tracking, quizzes, and forums to facilitate collaborative learning and knowledge sharing among peers. The use of Keller's Personalized Instruction System (PSI), which enables students to study at their own speed, is a crucial aspect of the curriculum. By ensuring that students fully grasp each idea before moving on, this self-paced, mastery-based approach boosts their confidence and expertise in cyber security. The idea of this Final Year Project is significant because of its contribution to addressing the growing need for cybersecurity education. This platform's goal is to develop a new generation of cybersecurity professionals who can mitigate emerging cyber dangers by providing students with relevant information and skills. Area of Study: Web-based learning Keywords: E-learning, Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), Self-Paced Learning, Educational Platform, Gamification in education, Personalized learning, Interactive learning.
