Are there user guides or course notes?
Yes. The game includes an on-line “encyclopedia”. After installing the game, open the CyberCIEGE icon and select “Help” and then “Game Help & getting started”. That opens the encyclopedia to the page that contains summaries of the scenarios and lab manuals that go along with the scenarios. Additionally the encyclopedia contains an “Educators” section (get there via the table of contents) that includes instructor notes for most of the scenarios.
