On the Experience of Using Vitagenic Learning in Teaching Information Security in Higher Education

Abstract:

At present, almost all state, professional and personal information of a person is displayed and stored in digital format. It has been shown that the loss or disclosure of this information can lead to serious reputational or financial losses. Attention is paid to the issues of the influence of a new phenomenon in society - a passive and active digital footprint of a person on his safety. The article shows that training in information security is not limited to the traditional study of technical and organizational aspects of the issue. It is proved that when teaching this subject in higher education, it is necessary to attract the vitagenic experience of students, which contributes to the awareness of the need to comply with information security rules.
The paper presents the pedagogical approaches and methods used by the authors, teachers of higher educational institutions, to achieve this goal. Shown are specific examples of practical training with students based on vitagenic learning and using the described technologies.
