Abstract: Because the World Wide Web plays a significant role on the Internet, its security is a core issue that must be addressed in cybersecurity degree programs to adequately prepare students for leadership in the industry. To teach a “Web Application Security” course, a good exercise platform that can cover the context of Web application is crucial to the learning outcomes. Unfortunately, existing platforms cannot satisfy both cost and efficiency requirements. In this paper, a cost-effective, quick, and accurate face recognition Web Application, ESP32-CAM, is introduced to the course with minor adaptions to provide a richer learning experience to students. Based on the students’ evaluation, this Internet of Things hardware-based Artificial Intelligence Web application can provide more hands-on exercises in the class and further inspire the students’ learning interests on a matured technique such as Web applications. Furthermore, through this platform students can apply the cutting-edge technologies in their class projects or capstone project, e.g., “transfer learning” to extend the face recognition to emotion recognition or generative adversarial network to fool the Artificial Intelligence model.
