Abstract
Digital Forensics is a study of examining digital data to detect and prevent crime and other
violations. It is commonly used in legal investigations and corporate compliance procedures
where evidence is stored on computers or digital storage devices. This course provides a
comprehensive study of information technology, evidence examination and data retrieval from
computer software and hardware. Students will have hands-on experience using various
computer forensic tools and techniques in a virtual lab environment. The course consists of 12
online lessons with corresponding quizzes, virtual lab activities and written homework
assignments. It includes two unit exams and a final exam. Upon successful completion, students
will be able to understand the fundamentals of computer forensics and incident response.
