Abstract

<p>The push towards online tertiary education has many benefits" however, it also increases the risk of cyberbullying in higher education settings. This paper reports on the early stages of a multidisciplinary research project involving the design of educational resources to prevent cyberbullying. It focuses on the use of student produced videos of functional scenarios of cyberbullying, which are included on a 'prevent cyberbullying website'. The paper argues that the production of student videos is one means by which higher education students can explore their own experiences with intervention in and prevention of cyberbullying.</p>
