Learn, practise, explain
Try the exercise before reading its explanation. Answer the self-check questions in your own words, then compare your reasoning with the answers. Revisit any difficult section before moving on. No account or payment is needed.

How computers and files work
A phone and a school computer both process instructions, keep information and exchange files. Understand these jobs so you can organise assignments, prepare for weak connectivity and recover from ordinary mistakes.
Learning outcome: Explain memory versus storage, organise a small project, distinguish copying from moving, and test an offline copy and backup before relying on them.

Internet, web and search: finding evidence
A result can look convincing and still answer the wrong question. Learn how pages load, how to read an address, and how to turn a broad search into a checked answer.
Learning outcome: Trace a page request, distinguish a browser from a search engine, read a URL carefully and produce an answer with verifiable evidence.

Passwords, passkeys and account safety
Protecting an account involves more than choosing a complicated word. Understand sign-in, second factors, device access and recovery so a lost phone or leaked password does not become a chain of losses.
Learning outcome: Explain password reuse, distinguish a passkey from a device PIN, recognise unexpected sign-in prompts and make a recovery plan without writing real secrets into an exercise.

Spotting phishing and online scams
Scams often persuade people to perform an ordinary action for a false reason: sign in, approve a payment or install an app. Learn to inspect the action, test the story and respond quickly if information or money has already been exposed.
Learning outcome: Recognise common persuasion tactics, explain two worked scams, distinguish receiving money from authorising a debit, and prepare a factual incident record.
