Establishing network computer forensics classes

This paper discusses the deployment of computer forensics classes at undergraduate and graduate levels in a shared classroom/lab environment. The course content combined broad-based computer forensics theory and practice with hands-on forensics tools, including networked EnCase Enterprise forensics software. Our discussion covers teaching and learning issues from the perspectives of the instructors and the graduate and undergraduate students. Lessons learned in these initial course offerings reveal effective practices as well as areas that require improvement..
