Web Browsing 101 - Staying Safe Online

Introduction

The Internet and its supporting technologies play host to an increasing importance for human activities from communications and commerce to online gaming and dating. With more and more individuals and businesses embracing the Internet and making it part of their lives, digital footprints are being left online making it even easier for someone to trace and monitor their existence.

Many of our online actions are not as private as we might think. Today, countless parties attempt to follow our online behaviour as closely as they can. Our internet service providers, our browsers, search engines, the apps we’ve installed, social media platforms, and even the websites we visit all know - to a certain extent - what we’re doing online.

This short e-learning programme will show you how to protect your online identity and enhance your privacy, making using the internet and world wide web a much safer experience.

What You Will Learn

With interactive learning activities, knowledge checks and key reminder messages, the programme covers the following:

• Digital footprints
• Web browsers
• Cache & Privacy
• Filter Bubbles
• Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)

You can take each section at your own pace, picking up where you left off and are able to see your progress throughout.

The programme concludes with an assessment. Your score will be recorded and 'super-user' reporting functionality for the organisation as a whole is available in the MBL learning platform.

We are committed to providing the best e-learning experience for all of our clients. This course contains accessibility features that can be adjusted to your needs.
