Abstract

This present study discovers cybersecurity awareness in online distance learning (ODL) during the pandemic crisis. ODL is an excellent way of teaching and learning during this catastrophe. The Government has imposed the National E-learning Policy to support ODL procedures. Unfortunately, the policies have not been carefully planned on security elements. Therefore, by utilizing Information Security Awareness Capability Model and Situation Awareness-Oriented Cyber Security Education Model, we able to: (1) design the security elements for National e-Learning Policy (2) develop a conceptual model of security behavior that benefits ODL procedure. Principally, four factors are demanding attention in the domain of cybersecurity features. On the other hand, there are partially supported hypotheses between the dimensions of cybersecurity and behaviour. Nutshell, we believe our paper is extending the body of knowledge in cybersecurity elements, awareness, and behaviour literature. Future direction, limitation, and conclusion have been thoroughly discussed.

Highlights

  • The urged by the Ministry of Education (MOE) to switch the teaching and learning from the traditional classroom to advance online class due to the Covid-19 catastrophe is an eye-opener to everybody

  • This present study was driven by the discrepancy in the National e-Learning Policy

  • We identify four CSF, namely authentication and accountability, access control protection of communication, and non-repudiation embedded in the national policy

Summary

Introduction

The urged by the Ministry of Education (MOE) to switch the teaching and learning from the traditional classroom to advance online class due to the Covid-19 catastrophe is an eye-opener to everybody. The schools and higher learning institutions (HLIs) are demanded to use online distance learning (ODL) as the medium of teaching and learning. Online distance learning (ODL) is a method of educating at a distance which utilizes technology combined with traditional education. ODL offers the concept of anytime and anywhere learning, which encourages lifelong learning and eliminates the problems associated with distance. The flexibility which ODL offers to the students is the main motivating factor in choosing online courses [1]. ODL helps to advance communication and encourage involvement between the student and the lecturer. ODL offers faster delivery of assessments, as lecturers can respond faster than the traditional way
