Digital Life Without Losing Your Mind
Take back attention, build safer online habits, spot dodgy information and use technology deliberately instead of living inside a permanent notification storm.
About this course
Digital life is now ordinary life. This course combines digital wellbeing, media literacy and basic cyber security: attention and notifications, information overload, healthier social feeds, scams and phishing, passkeys and password managers, misinformation and using AI with judgement. The aim is not a digital detox. It is more control, confidence and safety online.
