Multilingual e-learning system for information security education with users' consciousness

Abstract

In an advance information society, the information security related issues are very important subject to be handled in any types of companies or organizations. Some companies introduce a technology based security system in order to solve these problems, however most of information related problems many organization have been facing are caused by humans. There are many risks of becoming perpetrators as well as victims. Therefore the education on information security is very important not only for business person but also for ordinary people live in the highly information oriented society. Some Universities or Colleges have lectures on information security or ethics. However, these lectures are tend to uniform and do not address characteristics of individuals, and seemed not to be effective especially if he/she grew up in legal and social environment different from Japan. We try to construct a multilingual e-learning system for complementing such problems by reflecting individual's consciousness cultivated in their countries' environment. © 2014 Springer International Publishing.
