Summary: As information assurance (IA) education continues to grow in importance, it is becoming necessary to develop systems that enable scaleable, affordable, maneageable laboratory environments. There is a clear need for realistic laboratories and assignments that can be implemented in developing programs in order to provide students with a thorough education in the IA field, and this project employs a multi-university team seeking to create just that. Consisting of ISU faculty and two developing IA programs, the project aims to develop and refine IA laboratory systems with the goal of understanding the roadblocks to implementation, the pedagogical issues involved, and how to better involve developing IA programs in advanced teaching technology.
