Course Descriptions of the Classes we Design for CyberDI

Cybersecurity training is the greatest internal threat our Nation currently faces in our mission to protect sensitive data.

CyberDI’s Certified Courses come equipped with all the materials for an LTP to deliver in any modality of their choosing. We see no difference in the educational experience of a face to face, online, or hybrid class. The modality does not determine learning.

We see no difference in the role of the instructor whether a class runs asynchronously online or synchronously online. Time does not determine learning.

Instead LTP’s can customize the CyberDI curriculum to the modality and medium that matches the needs of the target learners. We have customized multiple packages that will all elicit evidence of knowledge growth using learning objectives derived and aligned from the CMMC-AB objectives.

Every LTP can know the best research practices were applied in ensuring the content validity of CyberDI courses. Every activity went through three rounds of content validity with cybersecurity, cryptology, and learning experts. Every module in all of our classes comes with a pre and post assessment to help learners measure their growth against the CMMC AB Certified objectives. As the number of students complete our courses we will also begin to provide reliability estimates or inter-rater training guides for our pre and post assessments.

No LPP has constructed a better learning team. Dr. Lisa Lancor Chair of the Computer Science Department at Southern Connecticut State University leads a team that includes military and intelligence penetration experts, cryptologists, signal engineers, ADA/ Universal Design for Learning experts, network technicians, and educational psychologists.

All of our course timings align to Carnegie credit hours and we offer course mappings for ISACA aligned CPEs. The three classes combined equal a three credit Carnegie Hour class.

Students will also be provided a course workbook that includes all of the online activities in paper based form. The workbook will also include the CMMC assessment guides.

LTPs can also rest assured that all of our learning tools are 508/ADA compliant. LTP’s have a legal and moral responsibility to ensure every learner can access course material. Universal Design for Learning could never have greater importance to the Department of Defense. Luckily veterans survive wounds that would have left them KIA but this also means we have a duty to ensure their fight and mission never end. Cybersecurity provides a great transition for wounded and newly abled veterans dealing with hearing or site loss. Respect our veterans and follow the law. Get 508 Compliant with CyberDI.

Most importantly when an LTP chooses to work with CyberDI they know they have a mission driven partner. We fight every day to create CMMC aligned apprenticeships in High School through college, we train veterans in AI and ML. We see cybersecurity and CMMC as a ten-year headcount issue not a cash grab but a way to address a changing battlefield. We welcome other like-minded organizations to the fight.

All knowledge areas in every class represent one module in our course. Every module will come with the following items an LTP can use to customize their course delivery:

Completed module template in Word, HTML, and PDF

Modules broken into lesson grouped logically around validated learning objectives

Objectives mapped to CMMC-objectives noting where they are introduced, reinforced, and assessed.

Module Kick off video defining all key terms through direct instruction

Subject Matter Expert Interview video(s)

A reading task aligned to lesson objective to scaffold active reading

A writing task that then asks learners to combine reading understandings with prior knowledge or secondary sources

A mentor text of the writing task for teaching purposes

A 3 point rubric to assess the writing task

Performance Assessment task to elicit observable evidence of knowledge and skill growth aligned to module objectives

Performance assessment rubric, interrater training, or multiple-choice answers

Performance assessment instructor guide

Criteria and List of Possible evidence for an OBI 2.0 Digital Credential
