From K–12 Outreach to Cyber AI Curriculum

Artificial intelligence is changing cybersecurity on both sides of the equation. It gives defenders new tools to identify
and respond to threats while also making attacks faster, more scalable, and more convincing. Preparing students for this
environment requires early exposure through K–12 outreach and continued updates to college and university cybersecurity programs.
This panel brings together faculty from Dakota State University and the University of Arizona to discuss how institutions can address AI-driven threats
and defenses across the cybersecurity education pipeline.
Both institutions participated in the pilot Cyber AI Program of Study
validation initiative through the NSA Centers of Academic Excellence community. Panelists will share lessons from that process and
discuss how cybersecurity curricula can incorporate artificial intelligence, adversarial AI, AI-enabled attacks, automated defenses, ethics, and
the changing skills expected of cybersecurity professionals.
The panel will also explore how these topics can
be introduced to K–12 students through hands-on activities, summer camps, classroom visits, dual enrollment, teacher professional development,
and partnerships between universities and schools.
Mark Spanier of Dakota State University will moderate the discussion.
His background includes artificial intelligence education, adversarial AI, and K–12 outreach. Kyle Cronin is a Professor and Department Chair
of Cyber Defense at Dakota State University, with expertise in cybersecurity education, curriculum development, and cyber defense. Paul Wagner and
Rob Honomichl of the University of Arizona bring additional experience in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, curriculum development, and educational
outreach.

Visible AI: Assessment When Every Student Has An Assistant

CodeGrade
In this session, we will present how to assess students when all your students have access to LLMs.
We propose a new way of grading, where you grade the student, not the model, by showing you the process behind the submission.
Learn how to make AI fluency a part of your course, while still being able to effectively assess your students.

Supporting the Teacher-Scholar Model with Prospect Press
Amy Connolly
James Madison University
David Williams
Prospect Press
Are you looking for a more interesting textbook for your IS course, one your students might actually read?
Have you cobbled together course materials because the right textbook doesn't exist for your course? In this session,
hear how one instructor uses a Prospect Press book to teach the computer networking course and a little about her teacher-scholar
journey as she worked through revising the existing textbook. This session should be of interest to
anyone curious about publishing or working with Prospect Press.
