Models for Information Assurance Education and Outreach: Year 3 and Summative Report
Wang, Jianjun
Grantee Submission
Over the past three years, California State University, Bakersfield received NSF funding to support hands-on explorations in "network security" and "cryptography" through Research Experience Vitalizing Science-University Program (REVS-UP). In addition to the summer bridge component, the grant included development of "Multidisciplinary Information Assurance Curriculum" at the undergraduate level and offered Information Assurance (IA) education for community members. In this summative report, a Results-Based Accountability (RBA) model is employed to examine six research questions: (1) How much has been done in the delivery of REVS-UP learning opportunities for high school students during the four-week summer sessions? (2) What strengths did the project demonstrate to support IA education? (3) What is the program impact on key stakeholders? (4) How much has been done through the Dissemination Workshop for K-12 teachers? (5) How well did the program perform in the service delivery? (6) Is anyone better off due to this outreach effort? To sustain the program improvement, qualitative and quantitative data are triangulated to assess "what works," "for whom," and "in which context" under a Context, Input, Process, and Product (CIPP) paradigm. The report concludes with a "Future Direction" section to examine the program setting on the REVS-UP platform. An appendix contains: Poster Presentations of Four IA Research Projects.
