Re: security awareness training

[Jill B Gemmill <JGemmill () UAB EDU>]

We were in a hurry and found that a SCORM-compliant (ie, able to be
imported into webct and/or blackboard) basic awareness training module
was available from several places, and for less than $10K.  Considering
the time a person would take to write such, this seemed like a good deal
to us.  For our purposes, a course from a company named Rocket Ready was
selected covering safe use of the internet, email, wireless, social
engineering, phishing, etc.  In our case, there was no charge for
modifications to the basic content (eg: we wanted to change the
information about setting and using passwords) to match local
conditions.

anything that they would be willing to share, so we do not need to
reinvent
the wheel.
 
  

Thanks, Mark, for starting this thread.  Does anyone, by any chance,
have a Blackboard course on Security?  I was planning to write one this
summer, but I'd just as soon steal one if I could... (hope the RIAA
isn't listening..)
