Due to demand, an additional date has been announced for the Writing for the web workshop.
The additional session will take place at 9.30 – 13.00 on 17 July 2012.
You can book your place via the Organisation and Staff Development website
The workshop is designed for all staff who are not professional writers but do have responsibility for College web pages. You will learn why writing for the web is different from other writing styles and how to apply good web writing to your own pages.
Key areas
• Understand the specific needs of web readers
• Understand how to produce readable web pages
• Learn very practical hints and tips for improving your web writing
If you are looking for other ways to improve your web skills you might like to attend one of the Web Skills surgeries. Take a look at the schedule and register online for a place.
