The learning experience is structured around a cinematic film-based storyline, punctuated with interactive activities, self-directed learning tools, learner assessment, completion certificates and teacher guidance notes.
What is Smashed Online?
Smashed Online is a free Key Stage 3 (recommended 11-14yrs) alcohol education e-learning module that comprises an engaging film-based storyline and interactive activities to embed learning and encourage personal reflection.
This version of Smashed Online is completely new for 2021 and represents a significant update from the original version created in 2020.
The module, which takes around 60-90 minutes to complete (but can be undertaken in shorter sections), is fully aligned to the PSHE Association’s Programme of Study in GB and the NI curriculum.
- increase knowledge and understanding of the risks and dangers associated with underage drinking;
- increase awareness of the communication, personal and social skills required to keep safe from harm, make responsible choices, and resist social influence;
- reduce the number of young people who would consider drinking alcohol underage; and
- identify strategies for keeping safe from underage drinking particularly in social, peer group environments.
