About this book
As e-learning increases in popularity and reach, more people are taking online courses and thus need to understand security issues relevant to this topic. Security in E-Learning discusses typical threats to e-learning projects and introduces how these issues have been and should be addressed. This knowledge is essential to conduct a security risk analysis effectively, because participants need to be aware of common threats, protection mechanisms and effort/cost issues. Based on the security risk analysis, appropriate preventive measures are thoroughly discussed in this book.
Security in E-Learning is designed for a professional audience composed of researchers and practitioners in industry and IT professionals. This volume is also suitable for upper undergraduate-level and graduate-level students in computer science.
Reviews
"In this nice, compact, and concentrated work, the reader is taught almost all of the notions of information systems security. Weippl adapts the presentation of the book's material for people involved in e-learning. He also touches on many subjects -- there are, fore example, tutorials on risk analysis and cryptography. ...
No person involved in e-learning should miss this book."
