Abstract
This poster presents Criminal Investigations, a text-based interactive activity designed to teach and assess reverse-engineering and firmware analysis skills in upper-division undergraduate cybersecurity courses. The activity incorporates elements of game design such as storytelling, experience points (XP), and just-in-time learning content delivery to increase student engagement and learning. Criminal Investigations is implemented as an easily accessible web-based application, deployed in a cloud-based environment.
