Security Education and Awareness Materials -- Solicitation!

The Education and Awareness Initiative of the EDUCAUSE/Internet2
Computer and Network Security Task Force plans to collect security
education and awareness materials and put those onto a CD (or on
multiple CDs) for distribution at the 2004 EDUCAUSE Conference in
Denver, and also for distribution from the EDUCAUSE security web site.

The goal is to provide campuses with many examples of good work being
done elsewhere, and also provide materials that campuses can readily
deploy on their campuses, with appropriate attribution -- but without
having to seek approval from the copyright owner.  So, please bear this
in mind when contributing.  For example, materials that a campus
purchased from, or developed in partnership with, an outside party
likely will not permit this type of sharing or redeployment.  Of course,
the CD will state generally that the materials may only be used for use
by non-profit organizations.

We are looking for campuses to contribute a wide variety of materials --
these in this list have been discussed, but there may be other types of
materials that would be useful:

1) posters
2) pamphlets
3) other printable materials, like bookmarks and flyers 
4) awareness and training videos
5) useful programs -- such as password checkers, etc. 
6) screensavers 
7) sample State or organizational proclamations on security (security
days, weeks, etc.)
8) On-campus governance/charges/mandates (assigning security
responsibilities)
9) Online tutorials 
10) Presentations (to users, to executive management, etc.)
11) Digital Photos of other "hard" items such as pencils and mugs,
t-shirts, etc. 
12) Links to online awareness web pages and other related campus
resources 

We will review the materials for duplication and quality (but only at a
very high-level), but generally there won't be much triage done.  We
will simply gather and index these, and put them in a folder structure,
but that's about it.

Please send your files to security-awareness () educause edu.  (PLEASE
don't send these directly to us!)

Thanks very much,
