Vietnam Cyber Awareness and Safety for Teachers event

The University of Adelaide recently marked the completion of a six-week Cyber Awareness and Safety Teacher training program for teachers in Vietnam.

The University of Adelaide CSER Digital Technologies Education group collaboration delivers support internationally to high school teachers in Vietnam through the sharing of digital technology resources for the classroom and ongoing professional networking. 

Launched on Thursday 26 August, participants attended from major cities across Vietnam including Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh and Danang. Certificates were awarded at the online award ceremony on 5 November following 6 weeks of Cyber Awareness and Safety Teacher Training.

The University of Adelaide and CSER Digital Technologies Education group plan to expand the program to high schools in South East Asia in 2022 and beyond.
