Abstract :With the increase in people`s access to information and communication technologies, threats to information security have developed in the same direction. It is seen that the measures to be taken with technical devices or services are not sufficient alone. For this reason, it becomes evident that the end users, who seem to be the weakest targets, should be trained on the subject. Since the size of the target audience to be trained may consist of everyone who even uses a smartphone, it was concluded that the most suitable environment for information security education is online learning systems. This study aims to develop an online learning system for information security education. To achieve this goal, the design-based research method and rapid prototyping instructional design model were used in the study. After initializing the first prototype of the learning environment examining the related literature, the final version of the prototype was emerged following the opinions received from experts from different but related disciplines.
