Teaching and Learning DLS-CSB espouses and promotes learner-centered parameters. The courses are delivered with
Strategy, Assessment emphasis on individual and collaborative activities where teachers design the environment for
learning and guide the learners to develop the important competencies.

A balance of theory and practice is achieved through:

1. lectures that are used to provide theoretical grounding
2. laboratory courses/sessions that incorporates hands-on, simulation and configuration
activities
3. application sites such as security operation center, sandbox and forensic labs.

Alternative ways of teaching is commonly used, such as, case studies, video/film showing,
independent research, guided discovery, class and small group discussions, and group and
individual presentations.

A Learning Management System (LMS) is used as an on-line support that (1) provides a central
repository where students can access resources anytime anywhere, (2) tracks the students’ progress,
(3) processes assignments, and exams, and (4) provides a venue for communication.
Various assessment strategies are used such as class discussion, written and oral examinations,
return demonstration, journal submission, reflective essay, assignment, seatwork, case study
analysis, portfolio submission, final project and individual/group report.
