The decision they practise
In “Jess messages IT”, a chat, learners practise what to say and do when the other person pushes back. The wrong options are things a well-meaning person might genuinely say, and the feedback explains why each one is tempting. Short animations show “From taxi seat to data breach” and “How exposed is Jess’s phone?”.
