Design and Implement a Computer Network Security Education Game on iOS for University Students

Abstract:

Internet attack is increasing and causing enormous economic loss in recent years. The network security literacy learning for educating students to defense Internet attack becomes more important. With the rapid development of computer and the mobile communication technology, the concept of entertainment is not new in todays Mobile Learning life and its purpose is to make the learning process more enjoyable when making people gain learning environment and resources anytime and anywhere. This paper integrates a funny computer network security education game into an iOS-based M-Learning platform which makes the learning process more fun and effective for its student end-users.
