Want to see which cyber security skills you’ve demonstrated after solving each CyberStart challenge? Here’s how!
From Linux Commands to Steganography Analysis, discover our Learning Outcomes feature which will help you identify which cyber security skills you develop as you play CyberStart.
We wouldn’t have CyberStart without its players, which is why your opinions play a huge role in our development and evolution of the platform.
In our recent discussions with players on what they wanted to see upon completing a challenge, the majority wished to gain a clear understanding of what they had just learnt.
From this feedback, we developed a Learning Outcomes feature, where players can see which skills they’ve demonstrated after completing each CyberStart challenge.
Want to know how to uncover the skills you’ve learnt across each challenge in CyberStart? Then read on!
Introducing CyberStart’s Learning Outcomes!
If, like most of CyberStart’s players, you are using the platform to learn cyber security, the Learning Outcomes feature will be a welcome addition.
We first released the Learning Outcomes feature into the success modal in one of CyberStart’s bases. We didn’t notify players of this new feature as we wanted to trial if they would find and engage with it organically – and they did!
38% of unique users clicked on the prompt to reveal which skills they’d learnt, showing us that Learning Outcomes was something CyberStart’s players were interested in.
How to see which skills you’ve developed in CyberStart with Learning Outcomes
After completing each challenge, players can now choose to view the skills they demonstrated in that challenge.
To see the skills learnt after completing a challenge, click on: “Reveal the skills you used to complete this challenge” under the success message.
Some CyberStart challenges will help you practise one cyber security skill, while other challenges will have you building several skills at once!
