significantly before presenting our work inprogress. As more EVGs are used within curriculum, the creation of a useful EVG database willserve as an important resource—a tool for bolstering educational efficiency and access toresources for faculty and instructors.Literature ReviewToday’s students grow up as part of the first generation of learners immersed in digitaltechnology and are therefore more tech-savvy in how they think and learn [1]. The 2003movement for video games in education and training, known as serious games, shaped the wayeducators approached educational instruction to meet the needs of an emerging networkgeneration [2], [3]. EVGs have impacted various fields including firefighting [4], healthcare [5],and business [6]. EVGs are

The practical labs presented in this paper provide students at high school, college, orprofessional level with skills and knowledge required for the modern digital workforce.IntroductionIt is widely accepted that there exists a growing need for practical networking skills amidst ashortage of hands-on experience opportunities for students, and that this issue is exacerbated byresource shortages, staff shortages, domain knowledge constraints, and limited options for safe,practical ways for students to practice infrastructure skills [1, 2, 3].

We also demonstrate how ChatGPT can be used in querying abstracts to identify currentgaps in the literature and future research projects.Literature Review Evaluating research outputs is essential in academia, encompassing the assessment ofscientific contributions, guiding tenure promotions, and directing research resources [1, 2]. Theprimary metric traditionally used has been citation count, with significant emphasis placed on itsrole in measuring research impact [3, 4]. However, the reliance on subjective quality assessments,like peer reviews, has shown inconsistencies in correlation with citation counts and there are otherconcerns noted in the literature about solely relying on citation counts [5, 6

Tohelp with this issue, this paper identifies the most frequent attack vectors to SMBs and proposes apractical model of Knowledge, Skills, Ability, and Tasks (TKSA) from the NICE Framework forthose attacks. SMBs can use the model as a guideline to assess, equip their existing workforce, oraid in hiring new employees. Additionally, educational institutions can use the model to developscenario-based learning modules to adequately equip the emerging cybersecurity workforce forSMBs.1 Introduction:Cyberattacks come bearing heavy costs to businesses and they are increasing each year

within a 3D environment.Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) can be described as mental neurodevelopmental disorders which includesautism and Asperger syndrome. Children with Autism experience difficulties in social interaction, verbal/non-verbal communication, and repetitive behaviors [1,[2]. Several studies have indicated that autism is a complexdisorder caused by several co-occurring factors [3, 4, 5]. Autistic children face difficulties when learningespecially in traditional classroom based learning. In this context, there is a need to explore alternative andinnovative ways to help autistic children learn. In this paper, the domain of learning is science and engineeringconcepts..The term Extended Reality is used to encompass 3 types of immersive

ofthe most important types of information is biometric signature which is usually processed in theform of digital images. Therefore, cybersecurity professionals need to develop expertise indigital image processing. The paper analyzes the role of biometric information in cybersecurityand identifies the skills to successfully design biometric recognition techniques.IntroductionWith the exponential growth of digital and Internet technologies, threats to digital information aswell as computer systems are offering critical challenges to professionals and researchers [1].Hence the demand for cybersecurity professionals is significantly higher than available trainedpersonnel. As a result, the topic of cybersecurity is no longer considered as a branch

needed help to struggling students is,particularly, important. For higher education institutions, early detection of at-risk students isessential for planning and providing the appropriate remedial services that students need in atimely manner.Various approaches to student performance prediction have been explored. Some studies requiredesigning specific randomized experiments [1], [2], [4], [6], while others, like this study, focuson utilizing data gathered by ubiquitous Learning Management Systems (LMSs) based onstudent activities and interactions with course materials [3], [8], [9].
