Abstract

Information security becomes essential since China has entered the information society. Information security literacy will be the core quality of information literacy. College students in all disciplines must have some information security literacy. However, the current university information security education is confined to the students who major in computer science, and does not cover students of other disciplines. Now other disciplines do not have specialized information security courses. The quality of college students lags behind the level of information society in China, which leads to frequent information security incidents. Therefore, how to improve the information security literacy of college students has become a problem. This paper proposed a teaching reform method of embedding information security literacy into the existing university curriculum. This method presents information security knowledge in case study and embeds it into the existing specialized courses of various disciplines without adding new courses. It is a lightweight curriculum reform method that can be carried out rapidly. The preliminary teaching reform practice showed that this embedded teaching can effectively improve the information security literacy of College students.
