Course Overview

The more we work online, the more important it is to know how to stay safe. The internet is great for connecting people, but we have to be careful about who we connect with. Cyber criminals are always looking for new ways to steal private information and even money. 

Working online also involves expensive equipment like laptops and phones, so it’s important to know how to keep these secure as well.

In this course, we’ve picked our top five tips for working safely online.

Firstly, we look at how to create a strong password. Then we look at how to use these passwords to limit access to your devices.

Then we look at phishing scams and how to avoid them. Next, we look at how to keep software up-to-date. Finally, we teach you how to use your devices safely in public places.

This microlearning course is an animated video, with audio narration and a multiple-choice post-assessment.
