Digital Identity and Wellbeing

This short course on Digital Identity and Wellbeing is part of digital capabilities being embedded in your learning at the Business School.

It enables you to gain an awareness of how to manage your online identity, and manage your digital safety and privacy. This includes a self-assessment of your digital footprint, how to set boundaries and limits around your use of technology, including social media, privacy, and wellbeing concerns that impact you and others.

Your programme may also include a complementary in-person workshop which enables you to explore practical steps to construct and maintain a positive digital identity, and enables you to share your ideas of good practice when managing everyday digital health and wellbeing.

At the end of the course you will be able to:

1. Identify different types of online identity and recognise behaviours that can affect those identities.
2. Appraise your existing online digital footprint and judge its suitability for different networks.
3. Recognise how to construct online profiles that project a positive digital identity, both personally and professionally.
4. Identify digital safety, privacy, and well-being concerns that impact yourself and others.
5. Investigate and appraise techniques or platforms that can support your own digital well-being and privacy.
