focus. Some studies suggest that the link between success and engagement is very real for onlineversus onsite. Bettinger & Loeb [16] examined the performance of online versus onsite studentsat DeVry University, where the average student takes two-thirds of their courses online and one-third onsite at one of DeVry’s physical campuses. They determined that students taking a coursein-person earned roughly a B- grade (2.8) on average, while if the course would have been takenonline, the students would have earned a C (2.4). The analysis also revealed that taking a courseonline reduces a student’s GPA the following term by 0.15 points. The decline in GPA for thenext term is even larger for courses in the same subject area or courses for

(Table A1 in the Appendix). Algebra and geometry/trigonometrywere included since instructors were noticing that students had difficulty with solvingsimultaneous equations as well as identifying sine versus cosine of angles or triangle ratios whenresolving forces into components. The prerequisite requirement to enter this course is a lettergrade of C or above in Calculus 1 and Physics 1. However, College Algebra is a prerequisite forPre-Calculus, which is a prerequisite for Calculus 1. Trigonometry is included in Pre-Calculus,whereas students may have taken Geometry in high school. Figure 8 shows the proportion ofstudents who earned an A, B, or C in each foundational subject. Moderately positive correlationswere observed between the letter grades

EducationAbstractCybercrime is the utmost risk to every company in the world, causing un-estimated damageagainst companies. Hence, the mission of preparing students with sufficient knowledge and skillsof cyber security has become extremely important and urgent. In this paper, we presented acybersecurity learning system that provided a comprehensive training program to educatestudents in the field of cyber-attack and prevention. The system incorporated various learningtechniques to not only deliver the contents clearly but also make the learning of cybersecurityinteresting. The learning techniques included integrated learning, student-centric learning,problem-based learning, self-paced learning, and game-based learning. We expected the systemto attract youngsters and
