A Tutoring System for IT Security Education

摘要

The Institute for Telematics of the University of Trier is currently developing a tutoring system that teaches knowledge of IT security. In contrast to other tutoring systems, exercises are not made in a restricted simulation environment but on a real Linux system. This approach allows the learner to apply his or her skills easily in practice. Depending on the type of user (e.g., end user or administrator), different lectures are provided. Interaction takes place via a web browser-based interface. It provides the user with various navigation facilities, help assistance, and statistics on the current status of processing.
