> Children and young people are among the most avid users of mobile technologies, which can have a tremendous positive impact on their lives. Like any tool, however, mobile technologies can be used to cause harm, and parents, governments and industry have a role in protecting and supporting children who are connected. This course looks at the issue from several angles, including cultural differences regarding children?s use of mobile devices, child online protection and whether regulation is necessary.

> Course topics include:
>
> * Children in the digital age
> * Rights, opportunities, and risks
> * Policies, roles, and responsibilities
> * Online child sexual abuse
> * Combatting online child sexual abuse
> * Formulating a national strategy for child online safely
>
>
> Learning methodology
> Combining the GSMA?s expertise on children and mobile technology with Diplo?s highly interactive online learning methodology, this course is conducted entirely online over seven weeks. Reading materials and tools for online interaction are provided through an online classroom. Each week, participants read an assigned module text, adding questions and comments as hypertext entries. The course tutor, guest experts, and other participants read and respond to these entries, creating interaction based on the module text. Participants complete short quizzes and join online meetings to discuss the week?s topic. During the final week, participants complete a written assignment designed to help them apply course topics to their own context. The course requires five to six hours of study time per week.

> This course has provided me with some necessary tools required to address child online protection; furthermore it established appropriate networks. The most practical thing that I can take away from this course is the sample strategy, this will be the basis on which a child online protection initiative or even cybersecurity can be founded.
