A Review of Value-Conflicts in Cybersecurity: An assessment based on quantitative and qualitative literature analysis

Cybersecurity is of capital importance in a world where economic and social processes increasingly rely on digital technology. Although the primary ethical motivation of cybersecurity is prevention of informational or physical harm, its enforcement can also entail conflicts with other moral values. This contribution provides an outline of value...

Innovation Mathematics Project, Blended Education in Practice: A Case Study at Delft University of Technology

All first-year students at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) are required to take mathematics courses, but their motivation to participate in these courses is generally lower than their motivation for courses that belong to their main field of study. These lower levels of commitment often lead to lower results and weaker understanding of...

Increasing the effect of peer review

Peer review is increasingly used in higher education, also at Delft University of Technology. Unfortunately, the potential of student-student feedback often appears to be undervalued, making it less effective. The quality of the reviews is not as good and they are less constructive than expected. Moreover, not all students take giving and or...

Improving the Online Design Education Experience

Design education usually takes place in a studio setting, in which visual and spatial artefacts are produced, shared, improved, presented and commented. This specific setting comes with qualitative properties that allow for situated learning with object-oriented focus and interaction, combined with a rich collegial context in which ideas can...

Pilot integrating visual platform in online courses

Being able to share visual course assignments and provide and receive personal feedback is essential in most studio design courses of Delft University of Technology. With the rapid growth of online and blended education teachers are confronted with the challenge of maintaining the same quality for this aspect of their teaching as in traditional...

Effects of Using Avatars in a Game-Based Learning Environment

Peer reviewing is an approach often used in digital (higher) education as it represents a possibility to provide feedback to large student groups. However, especially in digital learning contexts, students feel being disconnected from the anonymous group of learners, leading to low-quality feedback. When feedback is open, and counterparts are...

Combining Multiple ID’s, Attributes, and Policies to Provide Secure Access Control within Hyperledger Fabric Blockchain Networks

Blockchain technologies allow users to securely store and trace their data on a fully decentralized system, and have the potential to make a huge impact on many industries. While traditional, permissionless blockchains such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano are very popular, they are currently unable to provide trust and privacy on the network....

Combining ID’s, Attributes, and Policies in Hyperledger Fabric

This work aims to provide a more secure access control in Hyperledger Fabric blockchain by combining multiple ID’s, attributes, and policies with the components that regulate access control. The access control system currently used by Hyperledger Fabric is first completely analyzed. Next, a new implementation is proposed that builds upon the...
