Abstract

Decolonization and Indigenous education are at the forefront of Canadian content currently in Academia. Over the last few decades, we have seen some major changes in the way in which we share information. In particular, we have moved into an age of electronically-shared content, and there is an increasing expectation in Canada that this content is both culturally significant and relevant. In this paper, we discuss an ongoing community engagement initiative with First Nations communities in the Western Manitoba region. The initiative involves knowledge-sharing activities that focus on the topic of cybersecurity, and are aimed at a public audience. This initial look into our educational project focuses on the conceptual analysis and planning stage. We are developing a “Cybersecurity 101” mini-curriculum, to be implemented over several one-hour long workshops aimed at diverse groups (these public workshops may include a wide range of participants, from tech-adverse to tech-savvy). Learning assessment tools have been built in to the workshop program. We have created informational and promotional pamphlets, posters, lesson plans, and feedback questionnaires which we believe instill relevance and personal connection to this topic, helping to bridge gaps in accessibility for Indigenous communities while striving to build positive, reciprocal relationships. Our methodology is to approach the subject from a community needs and priorities perspective. Activities are therefore being tailored to fit each community. We hope this will lead to increased awareness and engagement by community members. Two Indigenous student research assistants were hired to assist in this project, which has developed into a blend of community outreach on the topic of security and data protection (most notably with respect to social media and online banking) and a computing education student-led educational research project.
通过本土镜头扩展网络安全知识:第一眼
非殖民化和土著教育是目前学术界加拿大内容的前沿。在过去的几十年里,我们看到我们分享信息的方式发生了一些重大变化。特别是,我们已经进入了一个电子共享内容的时代,在加拿大,人们越来越期望这些内容既具有文化意义又具有相关性。在本文中,我们讨论了在马尼托巴西部地区的第一民族社区正在进行的社区参与倡议。该倡议涉及以网络安全为主题的知识共享活动,并针对公众受众。对我们的教育项目的初步研究侧重于概念分析和规划阶段。我们正在开发一个“网络安全101”迷你课程,将在几个一小时长的讲习班上实施,针对不同的群体(这些公共讲习班可能包括各种各样的参与者,从讨厌技术的到精通技术的)。学习评估工具已被内置到研讨会计划中。我们制作了信息和宣传小册子、海报、课程计划和反馈问卷,我们认为这些都与这一主题密切相关,并与个人联系在一起,有助于弥合土著社区无障碍方面的差距,同时努力建立积极、互惠的关系。我们的方法是从社区需求和优先事项的角度来处理这个问题。因此,活动是量身定制的,以适应每个社区。我们希望这将提高社区成员的认识和参与。聘请了两名土著学生研究助理协助该项目,该项目已发展成为一个以安全和数据保护为主题的社区外展活动(尤其是在社交媒体和网上银行方面)和一个由计算机教育学生主导的教育研究项目的混合体。
