  • In real life contexts, predicting how technology will actually be used is often difficult. This can be a problem in the context of cybercrime: attempts to steal our identities, our money, or simply to frustrate our work by infecting our computers, rely on exceptions, derogations, people not paying attention, or not understanding what is at stake. There are various ways for the criminal mind to operate, but our concern is that future users need to develop more awareness of cybersecurity, meaning not only knowing the risks of using technology, but also how to handle threats that may happen in cyberspace. We will report two qualitative studies that show that cybersecurity awareness is about evolving resilience in a collaborative practice, and therefore cybersecurity awareness is collaborative. This has implications for Technology Enhanced Learning for future citizens.
