Teach a Cyber Forensics Study Unit
with Project Ares
New learning content in Project Ares creates a beginner’s entry point to learn about the key topic area of cyber forensics.
- Flashcard-like study questions for cyber forensics are now part of the Trivia Loot learning game in seven new categories.
- A new Trivia Loot feature enables players to select the categories for the game board. Users can set it up to tackle the cyber forensics categories.
- A new Cyber Forensics Study Guide in the Media Library will be available soon. It will introduce basic forensics concepts that can then be tested in Trivia Loot.
When you teach Forensics this term or next:
- Add new beginner information to your cyber forensics course as prep for the Project Ares Forensic Scenario (battle room 9)
- Have us bring it all together for you when you contract for our packaged introduction or certification course in Forensics
- Encourage your students to grab snacks and headphones and use the material to self-start their cyber forensics learning. (Aka: a cram session
)

with Project Ares Instructor Tools
To help you teach better with Project Ares, new tools are available in a new web app.
Teaching a course: How’s my class or cohort doing in Project Ares?
A dashboard on Student Progress (beta) gives you an at-a-glance view of how students have progressed (or not) with their Project Ares assignments. Use this real-time data straightaway to pinpoint students that are both ahead of and behind the curve.
This helpful dashboard widget is available through a new Project Ares web application. Keep reading!
Preparing for class: How do I align a scenario to my lesson plan for lab assignments?
Instructor Information for all Project Ares scenarios includes the hints, answers, scoring, and solution videos. You’ll find these materials after you log in to the Project Ares web app and click on the Learning Catalog (formerly the Curriculum Guide).
Setting up Curriculum: Which Project Ares Scenarios are right for my program?
The improved Project Ares Learning Catalog has a new filter and search capability to help you explore Project Ares scenarios.
To research the best scenarios for your cyber courses or training programs, use the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE Framework) categories and competencies to filter the catalog material.
