“…It takes place in a 3D environment with users, systems, and real-time economic engine. As (Irvine, 2005) affirms, the aim of the game is to keep users happy and productive in a virtual organization while security measures to protect valuable organizational information assets are adopted.…”

Digital serious games and game-based learning have contributed to the expansion of new educational paradigms, where the use of computing resources is mixed with traditional ways of teaching. Allied to these advances, the virtual worlds are increasingly being used as tools to motivate students, providing immersion, autonomy and dynamism. This paper shows the development and application, focusing on the latter, of JASPION, a ubiquitous serious game integrated to OpenSim virtual world for computer networks education, which has an adventure narrative style with a storyline inspired in "The Fantastic JASPION" television series, placing the player in the role of a character. Topics of computer networks' subject from Computer Science degree are contemplated. The ubiquitous features are contemplated by the sensitivity of cognitive style and level of expertise contexts, providing a customized game play profile for different players. The approach seeks to place the student on a transparent learning environment, reflecting aspects of ubiquitous learning, and is applied taking advantage of an assessment carried out by a hybrid method that explores two main instruments: adaptation of a questionnaire (Savi, 2011) and analysis of user's interaction with the game through the computer screen capture. The results show the existence of motivational signs on students about computer networks discipline, highlighting the game's potential as an educational tool.

“…They are given limited resources and they have to apply practical and intelligent judgement in risk analysis and risk management. According to literature [9], the core engine of the game is probabilistic in nature and it does not include organisational security policy and it is not extensible. It delivers a fixed set of activities and there are no interactive activities in the virtual environment.…”

“…To this end, simulation games have been regarded as one of the solutions [4]. This paper aims to report an initial pilot study on the use of a simulation game called CyberCIEGE [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] to assess the effectiveness of raising the awareness and knowledge on Information Security among a small group of Thai students. The test is by no means exhaustive but is supposed to do an initial test on the acceptance of the game by the students.…”

Abstract-Success of Digital Ecosystem depends on a reliablesupporting infrastructure that offers and transports services and information thereby empowers the business system to function properly. This implies the utmost importance to maintain the reliability, confidentiality and integrity of the network and communication systems. This paper reports an initial pilot study on the use of a simulation game called CyberCIEGE for raising the awareness and knowledge on Information Security among a small group of Thai students. The paper provides an overview of the software, the experiment and results, and, a discussion on the next phase of this proposed project.

“…The building blocks of CyberCIEGE consist of several elements: a unique simulation engine, a domain-specific scenario definition language, a scenario development tool, and a video-enhanced encyclopedia. [8] CyberCIEGE is intended to be extensible in that new CyberCIEGE scenarios tailored to specific audiences and topics are easily created. [9] The scenario definition language expresses security-related risk management trade-offs for different scenarios.…”

Abstract. Although many of the concepts included in staff cyber-security awareness training are universal, such training often must be tailored to address the policies and requirements of a particular organization. In addition, many forms of training fail because they are rote and do not require users to think about and apply security concepts. A flexible, highly interactive video game, CyberCIEGE, is described as a security awareness tool that can support organizational security training objectives while engaging typical users in an engaging security adventure.
