Abstract
"Although still a relatively new undergraduate course of study at most colleges and universities, specialized degree programs in computer forensics and digital investigations are now becoming available at the graduate level. There appear to be two divergent educational paths for graduate-level education in this field, namely, technology and management. This article describes Champlain College’s online master of science degree program in Digital Investigation Management. The curriculum is described, along with the learning theories and pedagogies that provide the guiding principles for course design. Particular attention is paid to the central pedagogic design of integrated reflective practice. Issues related to the online learning environment and adult learners are also presented."--from the article.
