The practice course

Six stations, each about ten minutes. Start wherever you like. Your progress stays only in this browser — nobody else sees it, not even us.

  1. Warning pop-ups Suddenly a window claims your computer is infected. What do you do? Not practised yet
  2. Texts and messengers Parcel texts, “Hi Mum, new number”, fake bank messages — on your phone. Not practised yet
  3. The address duel Which address really belongs to the bank? Tricks with dots, hyphens and typos. Not practised yet
  4. The inbox Ten emails — some genuine, some traps. Check senders, links and attachments. Not practised yet
  5. I clicked — what now? Clicked or typed in your details after all? No need for shame — here's what to do now. Not practised yet
  6. Asking AI for advice — with care An AI can help you judge a message — if you ask it the right way. Not practised yet

After the course

Refresh

What you practise once fades. The course suggests a refresher after a day, a week and a month — you can also start one any time.

Some browsers forget your progress after a while without a visit — Safari on iPhone and iPad after seven days. A calendar reminder still works.

Practice record

A page to print with the stations you've done. Not a certificate — a reminder, and a good reason to talk about it at home.

Class & family

Practising together works well — at the kitchen table or on a projector in a class.
