About the Course

The use of digital media and platforms has become a seamless extension of everyday life for many people across the world, and, in response to the global pandemic, this has become even more deeply entrenched. While vast inequalities exist, digital platform use is steadily increasing across the globe. Safe navigation of these digital spaces is a critical issue.
Whereas many digital safety programmes are focused on digital security, a term which mostly takes into account the protection of digital assets and information, it is vitally important that young people are given tools to maximise their digital safety, a more holistic approach that covers all aspects of potential dangers and harms might encounter in the digital space. There is no point in encouraging young people to limit their digital engagement, as traditional safety programmes have tended to do. This course will be a practical resource that takes into account the realities of our digital world.

Course Reviews

  • Amandeep .
    The most useful aspect of the course was its practical approach to Media and Information Literacy, digital safety, and responsible online citizenship. I particularly appreciated learning how to critically evaluate online information, protect digital privacy, recognize online harms, and promote respectful digital behavior. The real-world examples and reflection activities provided practical strategies that I can apply both in my classroom and in my own digital interactions.
