AB  - We revamped hands-on labs in a cyber security course to be aligned with our college’s new initiatives to increase course accessibility utilizing “ed-tech” (cloud services, etc.) and to increase use of learning management systems for real-time assessment of student learning and intervention needs, and program outcomes and continuous improvement.
The field of cyber security is evolving fast. The current lab environment and labs were outdated. In this project, virtual labs are updated or recreated. We used to employ an old virtual environment consisting of three individual virtual machines. The new virtual lab environment is composed of a single Alma Linux 8 virtual machine. The virtual environment can be deployed locally on a personal computer or remotely on a private cloud. Students perform labs using nested KVM virtual machines inside the virtual environment, 
In this project, we converted lab answer sheets to New Quizzes on our Learning Management System - Canvas. Unlike Classic Quizzes, new quizzes support Regular Expression match and Levenshtein Distance in fill-in-the-blank questions, allowing more flexible answers from students to be accepted. Students can do labs anywhere and receive immediate feedback for most tasks after completing a lab. They can resubmit the labs multiple times for automatic grading. The trial-and-error approach is intended to help students understand concepts better and improve problem-solving and troubleshooting skills. The project is part of our continuous efforts to incorporate automatic assessment and feedback in information technology laboratory courses. The student feedback has been positive.
