This paper describes the design and evaluation of the student behavior model in a blended, transmedia curriculum called CryptoComics. We developed CryptoComics for teaching cryptology and cybersecurity to elementary students. We demonstrate how we develop and evaluate student behavior models from log data of digital learning software for the CryptoComics curriculum.
