Module overview
Practice safer digital choices around privacy, scams, boundaries, and online conduct.
Lessons
Privacy And Digital Footprints
Every tap, like, search, and scroll leaves a trace that someone else keeps, often forever. Learn what your digital footprint really is, who has access to it, how to check what has been collected about you, and leave with a Privacy Checklist you can actually use on the apps and services you use every day.
Scams, Risks, And Defenses
Almost everyone gets targeted by online scams, and the people who fall for them are usually not the ones you would expect. Learn the common scam patterns, why they work on smart people, and the specific defences you can use without becoming paranoid. Leave with a Scam Spotter note for your own real situation.
Healthy Use And Boundaries
Catherine Price missed a moment with her own baby daughter because she was scrolling. She turned the realisation into a method anyone can use. In this lesson you audit your screen habits without shame, learn why phones are engineered to pull you, design one small boundary experiment, and write three personal rules you can actually keep.
Responsibility In Online Spaces
Jaron Lanier helped build virtual reality in the 1980s, then spent decades watching social media change how people treat each other online. He has a specific argument about why ordinary, decent people can become cruel on social platforms without realising it. In this lesson you will learn the argument, practise noticing it in your own behaviour, run a real community scenario, and write a personal participation pledge you can actually keep.
