Abstract

This paper aims to explore the development of the Abertay Graduate Attributes (AGAs) into one of the computing modules, Issues in Network Security, for third year digital forensic students in school of Science Engineering and Technology (SET) at University of Abertay Dundee, using Kolb's Experimental Learning Model (KELM). It is believed that the KELM, which includes four components of: " Concrete Experience " , " Reflective Observation " , " Abstract Conceptualisation " and " Active Experimentation " , would help embed the AGAs, which includes four features of: " A Confident Thinker " , " A Determined Creator " , " A Flexible Collaborator " and " An Ambitious Enquirer " , into my teaching subjects. It is also believed that such a creative integration between KELM and AGAs would help students improve their generic qualities and skills and transfer professionally from " being a student " to " being a graduate ". The KELM and AGAs integration scheme provides the students with adequate skills and qualities in order to: think independently and confidently, be creative to seek solutions for different problems, collaborate professionally with organisations and professional bodies, and enquire ambitiously and determinedly to find solutions for different problems.
