ABSTRACT

The chapter explores the experience and benefit of using online simulations with students who are studying law as part of the MSc Computing Forensics degree delivered by the University of Glamorgan (now the University of South Wales). The students took a recommended module in law so that they could explore how the computer professional experienced and understood the importance of legal issues within their work. The students were mostly part-time postgraduates who worked in different professions such as the police service, commercial organizations and small to medium-sized business enterprises. Two cohorts used the simulation: one was based in the UK, while the other was located in Hong Kong.
