Specifically, we focus on how knowledgeable individuals are about the security vulnerabilities present in IoT devices and how this knowledge affects their attitudes towards security and their willingness to own specific IoT devices. The researchers administered a survey to a convenience sample of 185 undergraduate business students investigating security vulnerabilities of three IoT devices—smart speakers, smart locks and IoT security cameras. This exploratory research aims to contribute to the existing literature in behavioral information security by providing preliminary insights into the relationship between IoT users’ security attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors, with implications for the IoT device manufacturers and the information security scholars.

By implementing several best instructional practices and through innovative use of technology to create community, the faculty member created a learning environment that students received with enthusiasm, and which helped them achieve at a higher level. The instructional practices included relevant AAC&U high-impact practices, ConnectedLearning.tv framework, and flipped classroom. This paper describes the details of the approach and the course outcomes, followed by a discussion.

This year our goal is to advertise the following summer’s offerings at the annual conference so we can get logistics in front of a wider audience, and they can plan ahead while they are still on an honors “high” from conference. Representatives from NCHC committees plan to work together to highlight their summer opportunities in an engaging way to participants. Proposed committee partners include Professional Development, Teaching & Learning, Assessment & Evaluation, and Partners in the Parks (focusing on their faculty trip).

One example of the breakdown of scheduled opportunities for us as honors colleagues to gather in-person to enhance our practices and strengthen our community was the cancellation of the 2020 International Conference on Talent Development and Honors Education in Groningen, the Netherlands, originally slated for June 10-12 but moved to June 16-18, 2021. Immediately following the 2020 conference, we (the authors) had planned to offer the fifth Honors International Faculty Institute (HIFI), an international and highly interactive occasion for honors and talent development teachers, researchers, and leaders to engage in presentations, experientia...

The probability that most of the students in class will enthusiastically engage is probably zero unless the professor has established the relevance of the material and somehow hooked the students with an intriguing question or example. Many students, even honors students, will view any activity as a hassle unless the professor establishes relevance and creates favorable conditions for engagement. Professors are no different when it comes to learning outcomes assessment. When asked to participate in the process, we see a glass half-empty rather than a glass half-full, so we need to start by examining why and how we might change this teaching attitude. Teaching is ...
