• The most valuable asset in the world today is no longer oil, it’s data. Businesses are harvesting consumer data to create new products, governments are digitally partnering with citizens to crowdsource solutions to civic issues, and hackers are constantly searching for new ways to monetize stolen data. The evolution of data management continues as businesses seek solutions that allow them to move data freely and securely from their private data centers to near-cloud solutions to cloud based hyperscaler platforms.

There is a dangerous shortage of cybersecurity workers in the United States. Every year in the U.S. there are 128,000 openings for Information Security Analysts, but only 88,000 workers currently employed in those positions – a talent shortfall of 40,000 workers for cybersecurity’s largest job (source: http://cyberseek.org/). The exponential growth in mobile devices, the Internet of Things (IoT), and the exchange of information online has significantly increased cybercrime. As such, there is a growing demand for expertise in mobile forensics. This hands-on workshop will focus on mobile devices as sources of evidence in forensic investigations. We will discuss the legal aspects of mobile forensic investigations and demonstrate Paraben’s Electronic Evidence Examination (E3) software to examine digital evidence, included deleted data, from mobile devices. Although not required, participants should bring their own laptop if they would like to try the software.

Expanding Access and Engagement in Your Courses with Open Educational Resources (OER)

The rising cost of course materials used in higher education courses is putting access to education out of reach of many students. Textbook and course material costs can account for 10-25% of the overall cost of a college program, leading many students to forego buying the texts at all (Zalaznick, 2016). Moving course materials from proprietary material to Open Educational Resources can dramatically reduce the cost for students. This participant-centered workshop looks to engage the questions frequently asked by faculty when considering OER adoption:

This workshop implements the simulation described in our accompanying conference paper, "Sprint, then Fly: Teaching Agile Methodologies with Paper Airplanes." The simulation introduces waterfall and agile methodologies by placing participants as members of development teams whose task is to build as many paper airplanes as possible in fixed period of time that fly successfully over a specified distance. Through this simulation game, participants learn the roles, processes, and challenges of each development methodology. Participants track their team’s progress throughout the activity, so they can draw conclusions about the benefits and challenges of each approach. After the exercise, the facilitators will lead a discussion about lessons learned and teaching tips to bring this activity back to your classroom.
