Understand Digital Skills
Digital skills are more than knowing which button to press. Start by framing a clear question, choosing a trustworthy source and checking whether the information is current and supported. Then practise: compare a claim with another source, protect an account with more than a password, and use a tool only when you understand what it does. The learning path below gives you an order to follow, while the explainers, quiz and utilities let you revisit a concept or apply it right away. If you are new to the subject, begin with the guided path and move to the quiz once you have worked through the ideas. Return to the related resources whenever a result or instruction is unclear.
