As e-learning increases in popularity and reach, more people are taking
online courses and thus need to understand security issues relevant to
this topic. Security for E-Learning discusses typical threats to
e-learning projects and will introduce how these issues have been and
should be addressed. This knowledge is essential to conduct a security
risk analysis effectively, because participants need to be aware of
common threats, protection mechanisms and effort/cost issues. Based on
the security risk analysis, appropriate preventive measures can be
taken, which is thoroughly discussed in this book as well.
