This Master's thesis addresses the design and development of an interactive, scenario-based
digital information security awareness course tailored to Hellenic Army personnel. The course,
titled the "Security Readiness Gateway", is grounded in the principles of Self-Regulated
Learning and Scenario-based/Situated Learning, complemented by the ARCS motivation
model. Following a Design and Development Research approach implemented through the
ADDIE model, the thesis covers the Analysis, Design, and Development phases, without
empirical deployment to an actual sample of trainees.
The resulting product is structured into twelve stations (Φ0-Φ11) spanning ten information
security topic areas -phishing, social engineering, password management, classified
information, PII/CUI, portable devices, removable media, incident reporting, physical security
and OPSEC- implemented on the Wix platform-environment with H5P/Lumi interactive objects
and a static narrative persona (the "Digital Security Advisor"). The design explicitly links each
activity to five operationally defined quality indicators: engagement, metacognition,
motivation, awareness and usability.
The deliverable is evaluated formatively, through a structured rubric and a Nielsen heuristic
usability evaluation, as well as through an evaluation of the generative AI tools that supported
the development of the thesis itself, based on the AI Assessment Scale (AIAS). The rubric
based self-assessment yields a mean score of 3.29/4 (approximately 82%), while eight of
Nielsen's ten usability heuristics are fully satisfied. The findings document, at the design level,
the pedagogical coherence and usability of the product, while setting out a clear framework
for future empirical validation under real service conditions. The thesis contributes a readily
deployable, extensible digital resource in an area where Greek military training currently lacks
an equivalent standardized tool.
