The course sign-up will be done using Twitter, which we will also use for course updates, and we will use a blog for the actual teaching and learning. The entire course has been optimised for delivery on a mobile phone (although it can be done on a PC). There is no formal assessment.<\/p>\n<p>We could do with your help! Please encourage your learners to <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/sqaesafety\">follow us on Twitter<\/a>. That&#8217;s all you need to do. Once they do, we will take care of them. The only thing the learners require is a mobile phone (or a PC). There is absolutely no cost, no form filling and no time commitment.<\/p>\n<p>We hope that this short taster course will not only be fun and interesting (and short!) but also deliver genuinely useful knowledge and skills about how to protect yourself when you&#8217;re online.
