Reframes competition-based learning as a structured pedagogical journey, drawing on case studies from the University of South Wales and Cardiff University to show how skills competitions can accelerate technical development and industry alignment.
Critically examines LLM-assisted development for generating bespoke cyber security teaching artefacts, proposing a six-stage methodology and honest analysis of failure modes through a portfolio of six case studies.

Presents a negotiation-based assessment in which final-year students assume nation-state roles in a UN-style ransomware scenario, developing geopolitical awareness, ethical reasoning, and professional competencies.
Proposes a hybrid RAG architecture combining MITRE ATT&CK and NVD data to automatically generate contextually grounded, threat-informed cyber security training scenarios, achieving 100% technique consistency and 91.3% vulnerability relevance.
A practice-based model for cyber security education rooted in the Space ISAC ecosystem, integrating threat-informed learning, analyst development, and cross-sector engagement to prepare students for the space domain.
Presents three open-source game-based learning scenarios for security-informed safety education across healthcare, energy, and cyber insurance domains, implemented in the Break Escape platform with full CyBOK mapping.
Proposes the Virtual Situation Awareness Training Framework (VSATF), integrating VR, AI, and neuro-affective analytics to assess holistic cyber security competence through technical, cognitive, emotional, and ethical dimensions.
A reflective case study of a cross-disciplinary hands-on teaching intervention combining lock picking, wireless hacking, CTF, and hardware and firmware security activities to broaden students' understanding of cyber security.
Proposes an ecosystem design approach to cyber security education spanning K-12, further, and higher education, with five design principles for inclusive and coherent pathway development illustrated through a Colorado case study.
Introduces Nyata AI, a Bristol-based hyper-local conversational AI companion providing multilingual, safeguarding-aware cyber security education to underserved communities, positioning digital resilience as an inclusion challenge.
Introduces the Trust Layer concept, arguing that psychological safety and neuroinclusive design function as security controls, with practical interventions for educators and organisations to build inclusive environments.
Demonstrates a live web-based generative AI tutor for network security that dynamically adjusts scaffolding support based on learner progress and interaction history, progressively fostering independent reasoning.
Demonstrates Cyber Odds, a Blackjack-inspired gamification model for cyber security decision-making and risk management under uncertainty, enabling collaborative team-based scenarios.
