A Systematic Review of Multimedia Tools for Cybersecurity Awareness and Education
Leah Zhang-Kennedy, Sonia Chiasson
Abstract
We conduct a comprehensive review covering academic publications and industry products relating to tools for cybersecurity awareness and education aimed at non-expert end-users developed in the past 20 years. Through our search criteria, we identified 119 tools that we cataloged into five broad media categories. We explore current trends, assess their use of relevant instructional design principles, and review empirical evidence of the tools’ effectiveness. From our review, we provide an evaluation checklist and suggest that a more systematic approach to the design and evaluation of cybersecurity educational tools would be beneficial.
