Abstract: A cyber-learning environment that utilizes one or more virtual computing environments in order to provide users of a course the ability to simulate computing scenarios without requiring the use of a dedicated machine is provided. The cyber-learning environment can include a core that accepts user inputs, as well as loads pre-defined courses based on the user's identity. The pre-defined courses can be generated by combining one or more assets contained with an asset library. The pre-defined course can also include grading criteria that can be sent to a grading module. The grading module can compare the grading criteria with a user's interaction with the virtual learning environment to assess performance. A score can be generated based on the assessed performance and can be transmitted back to a user of the course thus providing feedback on the user's performance within the course.
