Living in a Digital World
An interactive journey into the world of cybersecurity designed and developed in collaboration with Education Scotland.
An interactive learning split in three parts
Living in the digital world requires cyber resilience. During these lessons, learners will explore how we as a society are being exposed to many threats through the use of our digital devices, how we can safeguard ourselves from harm in the digital world, as well as imagine possibilities for future technology and digital experiences with safety as an integral requirement.
Being Exposed
Introduction to cybersecurity and the value of data. In this lesson, learners will get to know the main security risks in the digital world and how other individuals or service providers can exploit a person's data for their own gains. They will also learn about the current developments in AI and algorithmic systems that can help spread misinformation and confuse the population.
Being in Control
In Part 2, learners will get to know various ways they can protect themselves and learn to recognise potential risks in the digital world. Accompanied by interactive exercises and real-world case studies, this lesson will provide in-depth knowledge on creating strong passwords, understanding how algorithms work, how to protect personal data and avoiding getting stuck in informational filter bubbles.
Be the Change
The current digital world has many flaws, but in the future, we can do better. In Part 3, learners will be engaged in an imaginative problem-solving challenge to design a digital device for the future that prioritises cyber security and provides a safe digital environment to consume, create and communicate.
