This elearning resource has been created to empower young adults with the knowledge of their digital footprint.  In recent years with the advent of Web 2.0 and mobile technologies the number of young adults who engage with social media sites has increased dramatically.  Social media sites provide young adults with entertainment and a way of communicating and connecting with friends and family, which in turn enhances communication skills.

Some young adults share information online in a flippant manner without any thought of the trace that they are leaving behind when they engage with digital environments. Young adults can lack the understanding of the digital footprint trace that they leave behind, how it paints a picture of who they are to the world and how a lot of this information is not always appropriate for public consumption. Assist young adults to become more aware of their digital footprint by requesting them to complete the module "My Digital Footprint" using the link below.
