What is Exercise-in-a-Box?
“Exercise in a Box” lessons are self-contained lessons designed by Cyberlite to teach students about cyber wellness and online safety in an interactive manner. Each lesson provides a safe environment for students to practice responses to real-world cyber issues, building situational awareness and promoting lasting behavioural change.
How It's Different
Our approach stands out by promoting active, inquisitive learning rather than passive instruction. Students are encouraged to investigate, ask questions, and discuss openly, which enhances their critical thinking and situational awareness. By working through realistic scenarios that evolve over time, students gain a deeper understanding of how cyber issues develop and learn practical strategies for managing them.
Realistic Scenarios for Every Lesson
Through captivating storytelling, each lesson immerses students in contemporary cyber wellness issues through an interactive scenario. Each scenario includes realistic depictions of text conversations, social media posts, news articles, and online forums between complex characters. Students must piece together these fragments to uncover the full story. This exercise highlights how cyber issues can escalate over time and encourages critical thinking through guided discussion questions. By examining these scenarios, students develop situational awareness and learn to identify and address cyber safety issues effectively.
