Learning Pathways

Learning Pathways are collections of courses and may also include stand-alone modules. They are designed as a roadmap to provide curated content to help you reach a specific goal. For example: a Learning Pathway, “Introduction to Cybersecurity”, would be geared towards helping users with little to no cybersecurity experience prepare for an entry level role, whereas a “Cyber Defense Analyst” pathway would contain all the content to help a user obtain that particular work role.

Courses

Courses are collections of modules that help teach or reinforce a particular topic. You may enroll in any available courses of interest that are available in the course library; if an instructor or team administrator has created a custom course there may be enrollment restrictions attached to it. If you are not seeing a particular course or unable to enroll in one, please contact your teacher or team administrator.

Accessing Courses

Courses can be accessed from the Courses link on the left-hand navigation bar: Clicking this icon will take you to the Course Library page.

Course Library

The Course Library provides many options for searching and filtering content. Content is organized into categories. Selecting a particular category will allow you to view courses specifically related to it. Categories may have many sub-categories below it. As you drill down and select more specific sub-categories, you will see the scope of the displayed courses narrow appropriately.

You may also search for specific content using the search bar at the top of the screen or use filters to narrow the focus by difficulty level, domain, or by a specific job role. Choosing any particular course will take you to that course’s page where you can view and access its contents.

Scenarios and Exercises

Scenarios and exercises are modules that are designed to help you practice the skills you’ve learned by working through Learning Pathways and Courses. Scenarios are built to mimic real-world situations and task you with solving problems, defending networks, and performing situational-based tasks. Exercises set up a particular situation or provide certain tools for you to explore and get to know in your own way, at your own pace.

Scenarios and Exercises both may be stand-alone modules, or a small collection of modules – but typically shorter in length than most courses.
