TY - JOUR AB - Purpose– This paper aims to demonstrate that learners prefer brain-compatible cyber security educational material, over traditional presentation methods. Design/methodology/approach– A prototype brain-compatible cyber security educational system was evaluated using a survey as a research instrument. Findings– Presenting cyber security material in a brain-compatible manner is an effective way in which to stimulate the learners’ interest, engages them in the learning experience and motivates them to learn. Originality/value– As far as could be determined, no previous studies showed the relevance of brain-compatible pedagogical techniques to cyber security education.
