Welcome to this course
Since the COVID-19 pandemic many of us are spending more time online streaming films and videos and as a means of keeping in contact with others through social media.
Staying safe online has two main components. Firstly, there is keeping yourself and your personal information safe. The second element of staying safe online is ensuring that your mental health is not adversely affected, which is essential given that the news can appear rather bleak at times.

- More information about the general principles of staying safe online
