Section -I

Introduction to OER (Computer Security)

A brief overview of OER:

Open Educational Resources are free and open access digital resources which can be accessible

to students, faculty or other educators. OER is created using Moodle course and self-registration

is enabled so that anyone who wish to access those resources can access it. The current Moodle

course is based on introduction to computer security consisting of basics of computer security

and public key cryptosystem like RSA and Knapsack.

This course is available at OER Link:

Pedagogy/Content/Technology Design Decisions

The decisions taken for designing this OER are broadly categorized in following three

categories.

1. Content Decisions

2. Pedagogic Decisions

3. Technology Decisions

• Content Decisions

The lesson is categorized in four topics which includes LeD (Learning Dialogues) such

as videos, LbD (Learning by Doing Activities) such as quizzes, LxT (Learning

extension Resources) and LxI (Learning Experiences Interactions) such as discussion

forums. Students are expected to watch the video and perform the associated activity.

This OER is subdivided in four topics:

1. Introduction to Security

The first segment consists of one LeD presentation with LbD activity which

includes a quiz. This presentation consists of various subtopics like security goals,

attacks on them, vulnerabilities and different types of security mechanisms. The

quiz activity is added to assess the understanding of learner after watching topic

presentation. The discussion forum will enable learner to interact with teacher and

have a constructive discussion on safeguarding the computer systems against

various attacks. One NPTEL video is added as learning extension resource.

2. RSA Cryptosystem

This topic consists of Basics of public key cryptography, mathematical

preliminaries needed for RSA, RSA algorithm and illustrative example. It also

consists of LbD activity (quiz). This quiz is also designed to test the understanding

of student after watching the video. Real world applications of RSA can be

6 | P a g e

discussed through discussion forum. One NPTEL video is added as learning

extension resource.

3. Knapsack Cryptosystem

This topic consists of knapsack public key cryptography algorithm and illustrative

example. It also consists of assignment as LbD activity. The assignment is designed

to test whether the learner will able to apply the knapsack algorithm for encryption

of the given plaintext. The problems associated with knapsack are discussed

through discussion forum. One NPTEL video is added as learning extension

resource.

4. Feedback survey

This is the last part of OER activity. It is mandatory for every learner to submit the

feedback. Further on analysis of feedback, improvements can be done in the course.

• Pedagogy Decisions

This course is designed by taking 3 subtopics in computer Security. Each topic lesson is

based on Flipped classroom strategy. Learner need to study it at least 40-45 minutes. It

will also enable learner to invest 30 minutes on evaluation and discussion. The activities

like quizzes and discussion forums tests learner’s knowledge at recall, understand and

apply level.

• Technology Decisions

To effective dissemination of OER, various digital tools were used. Wordpress site is

used to display course moodle URL. Sample credentials are also made available on

facilitator’s wordpress site.

Moodle is used to create the course using flipped classroom strategy. Moodle is an open

source learning management system (LMS). It has various features which enable teachers

to uploading files in different formats, media clips, designing quizzes, wikis, workshops

and setting up discussion forums. Moodle also provide very good documentation support

[3]. To create presentations and documents, Microsoft office is used.

Section IV

Section 4: Evaluating Effectiveness of OER

The OER effectiveness can be assessed at two levels:

1. At the student level

2. At the consumer level

Effectiveness at the student level:

The WordPress is provided with practice quiz questions. Moodle quiz(MCQ) graded activity are

provided on basics of computer security and public key cryptosystems. The multiple choice

objective questions based on the various presentations are created. By attempting the quiz in due

time frame the students can evaluate themselves and able to judge their knowledge about the

topics. By solving the assignments, learner will improve their writing, thinking & recall ability

which helps for their self-assessment. The teachers can also evaluate the students according to

their score in the topics.

Effectiveness at consumer level

Effectiveness at consumer or Teacher level can be achieved by providing quiz & assignment in

the Moodle site. Teacher can evaluate the students based on the timely submission and

completion of the assignments. The teachers can see their grades by doing grade settings and

create the consolidated report of evaluation activities.

Both Students and teachers can access, attempt and make self-assessment based on course

contents and evaluation activities. Feedback plays important role in improving the course

contents as well as overall teaching-learning process.

Building Community with OERs

Possible Sources for Community Building

Some of the viable sources for building a community are:

1. Teachers who are using MOODLE

2. Teachers who plan to use Flipped Classroom Strategies

Plans for Community Building

The resource is already available in the webpage

(https://rc1100group002.gnomio.com/login/index.php) and word press site

(https://sangitasc.wordpress.com\ https://shilpalipb.wordpress.com) and its access require the
