Finally! An online quiz worth taking
March 4, 2010 by Claire KnightPosted in: In this week's e-newsletter, Latest News & Views, Tech Trends
Let’s be honest: Everyone loves online quizzes, but they’re just fun and games, right? Not necessarily — here’s one that can help prevent major mistakes with technology.
The Institute for Responsible Online and Cell Phone Communication has posted the Digital Risk Spike on its Web site.
This free online quiz measures the likelihood of running into a life-altering problem, due to irresponsible online behavior.
In addition to the quiz, the site offers solutions that will help reduce digital risks by suggesting changes in online behavior.
The link is a sure pass-along to staff and students alike — because everyone needs to know how to use technology responsibly:
- students will learn how to avoid the digital drama that causes problems, such as sexting and cyberbullying, and
- staff will benefit by learning how to reduce the chances of having their identities stolen.
Take the digital risk spike and let us know how it helped you in the comments section below.

Please be advised the quiz was not removed but moved to a new platform in light of the overwhelmingly positive response and use from users across the globe.
You can find the assessment here:

To Mikael…perhaps more time should be spent constructively and not disparaging the reputation and work of individuals and organizations working to assist a society that seriously lacks an understanding of digital responsibility?
Just a thought.
Cheers.
