Abstract
The shift to online learning and teaching has drawn increasing attention
to the cyber risks likely to be faced in a learning institution. In recent
times, cybercriminals have disrupted learning using various attacks,
including ransomware, Zoombombing, denial of service, and data theft.
It is, therefore, crucial for educators to be cognisant of these threats
and be equipped to defend against them. The Advanced Cybersecurity
Training for Teachers (ACTT) course is designed to provide teachers,
teacher educators and education practitioners with superior knowledge
necessary to protect themselves and their students online, as well as
create awareness for parents and other stakeholders in digital learning.
The course enables participants to proactively protect the digital spaces
they use to engage with learners and also adopt good practice for a safe
and effective online learning experience.
