Do you have a course that you are ready to put on the web? If so, this is
the course for you. It takes you through how to make the best use of what
the web can do, how to design a site and how to design pages. It will enable
you to create the main structure of your site, to put in some teaching pages
and to add some interactivity to them. You will take away with you a course
web site which you then complete in your own time.

Who will benefit: Teachers and trainers who have developed courses which
they now wish to transfer to the web. You should be able to bring with you
around 20 pages of ready prepared learning material that you wish to convert
to the web.  Ideally this should include some learner activities or
self-testing material. (You will receive more detailed instructions on
exactly what to try to bring once you have registered on the workshop.)

Workshop aims: The workshop will help you to:
1. Identify how the Web can be used to deliver learning materials - what can
and cannot be done.
2. Identify resources on the web which can be used to help you put your
course on the web.
3. Identify which parts of your own courses could be delivered in this way.
4. Plan a structure and page design for your course site.
5. Use a web page-making program to create a structure for your site.
6. Use a web page-making program to create some teaching pages for your
site.
