Security management training takes to the web

Abstract

Rises in the incidence of global terrorism have underscored the need for high quality professional education in security risk and security technology. As a result, the demand is high for Security Science courses in the national and international contexts. Edith Cowan University delivers professional education for the protection of assets at international and national domains. This paper describes the philosophy and pedagogy informing the design and development of Security Science online units, and provides examples of the interactive activities from the Physical Security unit. Learning materials developed for this course have unique attributes as they were specifically designed to provide simulations and interactivity in the learning process. The Physical Security unit are used to illustrate the development of the online learning strategies and interactive activities.
