Reuse and adapt existing scenarios to make repeated TTX delivery sustainable¶

Description¶

Because creating a TTX from scratch is time-consuming, the authors recommend reusing and adapting existing scenarios: once well-specified and implemented, redeploying for a new cohort requires only adjusting contextual details, refining content from previous runs, and assigning participants to a new instance. The open-source exercise library accelerates this by giving new designers a starting point.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Scenarios must be treated as assets that accumulate value over time

Constraints¶

Target Learners¶

• undergraduate cybersecurity students across successive cohorts

Target Learning Goals¶

• incident handling and response practice at scale

Related Strategies¶

• Use generative AI as a preparation accelerator for bounded execution-level tasks, not as a design partner
• Support instructors during execution with predefined email templates and instructor notes
