Cyber Training by Cyber Professionals
What happens when Cyber Security experts and cognitive science researchers team with next-generation virtual reality developers? COURSE. COURSE combines these principles to provide state-of-the-art immersion training in cybersecurity theory and practical technique. The result is modular, mobile, and effective training that increases retention by 500% over traditional classroom instruction.
The 9 Tenets of
Cognitive Retention
SEGMENTATION
Break up complex processes into smaller pieces and space them out
If possible, try to make the lessons evoke some measure of fear, anger or excitement.
EMOTION
PROCEDURAL MEMORY
Physically knowing how to perform a task.
INTERACTIVITY
The participation of the learner in the lesson.
REALISM
The degree to which the VR environment matches the field.
TESTING
Knowledge assessments
SEMANTIC CONTEXT
Learners want to know why this information is important. Tell them early on to engage your audience.
DUAL MODALITY
Use both visuals and sound in conjunction to maximize applied understanding
MAKE CONNECTIONS
Take advantage of existing knowledge by connecting complex topics to well understood ones
COURSE training theory is based on the findings of The Cognitive Learning Framework (CLF). The CLF maximizes the training effectiveness of the COURSE program. Responsive learning paths are unique to each trainee. These progressive paths adjust the learning environment based on performance, offering unique content delivery variants as needed to give trainees new perspectives and increase retention, performance speed, and performance accuracy.
