Building Expertise Through Hands-On Practice

Codio’s Digital Literacy curriculum immerses students in real-world security challenges. This allows learners to engage directly with tools and techniques in a controlled, practical setting. With a hands-on, investigative approach, learners can experiment, troubleshoot, and understand what it means to be a responsible and secure digital citizen in a deeply applied context.

Auto-Graded Assessments

Students receive instant, detailed feedback on their progress. In addition to correctness (right or wrong), they receive explanations and fully worked-out solutions, which enhance understanding. A variety of auto-graded questions are used to challenge students progressively, helping them assess their grasp of cybersecurity concepts after each lesson and as they tackle more advanced problems.

Lowering the Barrier to Entry 

Codio’s Digital Literacy curriculum is designed to meet students where they are, providing an accessible entry point to the world of security. We understand that cybersecurity, like many technical fields, has its own complex terminology. Our courses break down these concepts into manageable units, avoiding unnecessary jargon. We present critical ideas in simple language, often using visual aids like images, tables, and lists to reinforce learning. Through smaller, digestible challenges, students are not overwhelmed, and they can build confidence by working on bite-sized tasks instead of one large, daunting project.

Encouraging Customizating Through Modularity

Codio’s Digital Literacy content isn’t a rigid, one-size-fits-all solution. The curriculum is modular, with natural break points where instructors can adapt the material to best suit their teaching objectives. Whether reordering topics, renaming units, or adding custom content, instructors can easily tailor the learning experience. Codio’s flexible authoring tools also allow instructors to create their own content, ensuring that the course meets the specific needs of their students while maintaining a strong focus on cybersecurity fundamentals.
