Safety By Design at FutureLearn Course details
- If you design online products and services, it is important to invest in risk mitigation at the front end and embed user protections from the beginning. Knowledge of user safety is crucial to help up-and-coming tech leaders prevent their platforms and services being unintentionally weaponised to carry out abuse.
- Jointly developed by Australia's eSafety Commissioner and RMIT University's Centre for Cyber Security Research and Innovation, this four-week course will arm you with the tools and skills to design online products and services with online safety and user rights at the core.
- Using the principles of Safety by Design, you'll gain essential knowledge to minimise online threats by anticipating, detecting, and eliminating online harms before they occur.
- You'll start by exploring the three principles of Safety by Design: service provider responsibility, user empowerment and autonomy, and transparency and accountability.
- You'll discover how these principles can be used in your context to increase your online safety knowledge and reduce the risk of harm for your users.
- Next, you'll put your knowledge into practice as you conduct an e-safety self-assessment on a mock online product or service.
- This will help develop practical skills to ensure you can use the self-assessment tool outside of this course to promote user safety and rights.
- Finally, you'll explore the remaining key initiatives of safety by design and the resources available to you.
- You'll learn how these initiatives help to increase awareness of safety by design to ensure you finish the course with the skills to embed cyber safety into your organisational culture.
