Cyber security teachers were invited to submit a brief description of a teaching activity or assessment that improves learning (by, for example, teaching a core concept more effectively, enhancing student learning, or improving student engagement).

The following talks were selected and presented at the workshop held during SECCon5 on 26th June 2025. The workshop offered an opportunity to share best practices, explore new teaching ideas, receive feedback, and potentially identify larger-scale collaborative projects for CySEA members to develop together.
