From the abstract: "In this study, we aim to understand the impact of IoC in a first-year cyber security course. 118 first-year cybersecurity students were provided training by the instructor about intercultural concepts. Upon completion of the training session, students were required to complete an online self-paced module known as Portable Intercultural Module (PIM). The PIM was focused on the various aspects of oral, written, and non-verbal communication and in what ways they differ across cultures, and how it can be misinterpreted if one is not aware of the cultural norm. Students were required to complete the module and participate in a final reflection assignment where they were given a scenario detailing conflict arising from cultural differences, and students were required to reflect based on the learnings from the PIM. We used a qualitative grounded theory approach to analyze the reflection responses of the students."
