Abstract

Effective cybersecurity education requires active engagement, hands-on practice, and immediate feedback. Traditional classroom methods often fail to provide practical experience in threat analysis, penetration testing, and network defense. This study presents the design and implementation of an interactive online platform that integrates virtual labs, gamification, and automated assessment for cybersecurity courses. Students can perform network scanning, vulnerability assessment, and incident response in simulated environments. Experiments involving 60 undergraduate students demonstrate that the platform significantly improves theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and motivation compared to conventional teaching methods. The study highlights a scalable approach to cybersecurity education leveraging modern web technologies and interactive learning paradigms.
