The eSmart Digital Licence is an online challenge which uses quizzes, videos and games to teach school aged children how to play, learn and socialise online in a smart, safe and responsible way.
Children take a fun yet educational quiz covering eight separate topics to test their digital literacy. Children can complete at their own pace, coming back to the quiz as much as they like. On successful completion of all topics students are awarded a Digital Licence and can print out a certificate.
The eSmart Digital Licence has been developed by the Alannah & Madeline Foundation with input of child psychologists, cyber bullying experts, technologists and educators.
The eSmart Digital Licence has two options. A primary quiz aimed at children from 8 to 12 years and a secondary quiz, for children aged between 13 to 14 years.
The eSmart Digital Licence has been designed to complement other eSmart programs.
It will help eSmart Schools with Domain 5, 'Curriculum' and Domain 6, 'Working with Parents and the Community' and supports eSmart Libraries with Domain 4, 'Guidance and Learning for Users' and Domain 5, 'Community Connections'.
It will assist all Australians to be smart, safe and responsible online.
Our Privacy Policy is accessible on the website. Your results are private, and your privacy is protected by law under the Privacy Act.
You can use the eSmart Digital Licence on both PC and Mac. When using a tablet, you may need to use slider bars to read full screen. However, we do not recommend using small screens and mobiles for the eSmart Digital Licence experience.
The eSmart Digital Licence is best viewed using Chrome and Firefox browsers.
You can review your children's progress via the parent dashboard. Each child will only be able to view their own results.
While one resource or test cannot make anyone 100% safe, the Digital Licence helps by making your child more aware of dangers online and become a more informed digital citizen. It is also a way for you to connect with your child and have conversatons about their online life and choices.

You can add a student account at anytime via the Manage Classes page of the teacher dashboard.
You can transfer licences between your classes from the Manage Classes page. Unfortunately you cannot transfer licences between classes that are managed by other teachers within your school.
You can reset student passwords from the Manage Classes page of the teacher dashboard
To prepare yourself for teaching the digital licence in your class follow these steps:
• Visit the Teacher Resources page in your dashboard
• Read the General Resources
• Use the lesson plans and open-ended activities for each module to plan your lessons – these resources fit any teaching style from Grade 4 to Year 12!
• We recommend at least 30 minutes pre-teaching before students start their licence
You can review both individual and class progress via the teacher dashboard:
• Visit the Progress by Class or Progress by Student pages of your dashboard
• Congratulate students as they complete modules
• Print the Digital Licence certificate for students who complete it – well done!
When all eight modules have been successfully completed, students are entitled to a personalised Digital Licence certificate. This can be printed individually or for all students via the teacher dashboard.
The eSmart Digital Licence is designed as a self-paced quiz with eight separate modules that can be completed as quickly or slowly as you like. Each module contains 10 randomised questions, and can be taken many times over. We expect each module to take around 15 to 20 minutes.
Your dashboard will report overall progress, including the number of modules completed and the scores for each of the eight individual modules that comprise the Digital Licence.
When all eight modules have been successfully completed (pass rate of 80% or more), you are entitled to a personalised Digital Licence and you will be able to print your certificate from your dashboard.
You can log in to your account to make changes to your registered details at any time.
You can change your user name or reset your password from the log in screen or you can change your password from your account screen.
Avatar selection is an early part of the sign up process and can be changed via a Student's/Child's dashboard at any time.
