The Development of a Longitudinal Security Case Study

A longitudinal walkthrough case study can teach students skills to develop a system of security with a big picture view. This security teaching case study helps students plan organizational security, develop secure software requirements, and prevent fraud. The case study uses a doctor's office that must adhere to HIPAA as a foundation for student problem-based learning. We have taught the course with and without service learning, with undergraduate and graduate students, with foreign, American, computer science and business students. As part of our assessment, we evaluated students' perceptions and learning effectiveness. This paper addresses the improvements made and lessons learned through assessment of this longitudinal teaching case study.
