Digital assets include all data and information that belongs to you or is about you which is stored on your phone, computer, or online at different websites such as banks and social media with which you have interacted. Digital assets can be very important and valuable.

Your digital assets may include things such as:

The documents and files saved on your computer and devices
Your passwords to important websites, such as your bank or superannuation fund
Material that you’ve posted on social media, such as Facebook
Your emails
Photos and videos which may have been uploaded to the “cloud”.

This Managing Your Digital Assets course will cover ways to simply organise and manage your files; tips for computer & device maintenance that will keep them performing efficiently for longer; how to set up backup systems in case of damage, loss, theft, or fire; how to include online assets as part of your end-of-life planning. Can I make new folders to sort things my way? How do I use my computer’s file management system? How can I easily sort and reorganize all my files? What happens with my online bank details and social media stuff if I am incapacitated?
