Pause. Prove. Proceed.
Would your child know what to do if a fake video showed up in their group chat?
A convincing voice note.
A manipulated image.
A video that looks real, but isn’t.
AI-generated content is getting harder to spot, and when something shocking appears online, it spreads fast. Most parents are not looking for a tech lesson. They are looking for a calm first move.
This mini-course helps you understand what deepfakes are, why they feel so convincing, and how to guide your child with confidence when something online looks real but isn’t.
What You’ll Learn:
What deepfakes and AI-generated content actually are, in parent-friendly language
Why emotionally charged content spreads so quickly in group chats and social feeds
How to respond if your child is targeted by harmful or humiliating synthetic content
What to do if your child shares or helps create AI-generated harm
How algorithms amplify shocking content and shape what your child keeps seeing
A simple family capability you can start using straight away: Pause. Prove. Proceed.
Who This Course Is For:
Parents and carers of children and teens (ages 8–17) who want to understand emerging AI risks without panic, and build calm, practical digital trust at home.
What Makes This Different:
Most AI advice feels technical, fear-based, or overwhelming.
This mini-course, built on Dr Cat Horvat’s PhD research from the University of Sydney and current research in deepfakes, misinformation, and adolescent digital behaviour, helps you focus on what matters most: how to respond well when it counts.
Using the Blended Citizens Framework and a human-centred, drama pedagogy-informed approach, you’ll learn how to guide your child through fast-moving digital moments with clarity, not control.

Format: Self-paced mini-course with reflection prompts and downloadable tools
