Cybersecurity Education Podcasts: A Framework for Effective High School Instructional Design. International Journal of Computer Applications. 186, 74 ( Mar 2025), 16-23. DOI=10.5120/ijca2025924604
Podcasts, hosted by industry experts, have emerged as a popular medium for learning, offering valuable insights on various topics. With a growing emphasis on information security and cybersecurity, the demand for educational cybersecurity podcasts is rising. This paper explores the potential of utilizing cybersecurity podcasts as an effective educational tool, particularly for High School students. Recognizing the need for cybersecurity awareness and skills at an early stage, the study presents a learning methodology and framework based on Webb’s Depth of Knowledge (DOK). By implementing the four stages of the DOK Framework, the study demonstrates how to create an educational cybersecurity podcast that aligns with educational objectives. This paper serves as a comprehensive guide for developing cybersecurity podcasts as a valuable learning resource in High School education, aiming to equip students for a secure digital future and potential careers in cybersecurity.
