<P><STRONG>Security&nbsp;in E-Learning</STRONG> is organized in three parts. First, the author raises awareness that security is an important issue in the context of education. The second part of&nbsp;the book&nbsp;emphasizes that security is mainly an organizational and management issue. The third goal&nbsp;highlights improving security as an ongoing process. <STRONG>Security in E-Learning</STRONG> includes technical fundamentals (buzz words), examples and case studies covering each of these three topics. </P>
<P>Considering the enormous costs of creating and maintaining courses, it is surprising that security is not yet considered an important issue by professionals, professors and students. Traditional security research has been largely driven by military requirements to&nbsp;enforce secrecy in the realm of e-learning. In most cases, the knowledge contained in e-learning programs is widely available. Therefore, the asset is not the information itself, but the hypermedia presentation used to convey the information.</P>
