Dear Colleague
As part of their regional workshop programme, Netskills will be running the following workshops at Newcastle University in August, book before 1st July and pay only £123 per workshop:
1. Dreamweaver: The Essentials, 7th – 8th August
-----------------------------------------------------
Macromedia Dreamweaver is a popular software package incorporating tools for web page creation and web site control and management. This 2-day workshop delivers an essential guide to the core features for the creation, formatting, management and updating of web page content.
2. CSS: A Complete Web Style Toolkit, 30th August
-----------------------------------------------------
The nature of the web today means there is an expectation for sites to deliver professional-looking, accessible and cost-effective content. Couple this with the need to provide easily maintained web pages - that also meet the current publishing standards - and you have just some of the reasons that make CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) into an essential toolkit that all web authors should have at their disposal.
By exploring the core concepts and techniques - and in some cases their limitations - you will leave equipped with a practical understanding of the most useful tools that CSS offers the web developer. You can then immediately start to use them to build creative, accessible, standards-compliant style into your own web sites.
3. Effective e-Learning with Moodle, 30th August
-----------------------------------------------------
The Moodle learning environment is becoming increasingly popular in the UK education sector. It is free to use, having been developed through the Open Software model, and is designed using sound pedagogical principles. This workshop introduces Moodle, its main features and demonstrates why Moodle is different from other learning environments. You will be given access to your own installation of Moodle for 4 weeks after this workshop.
4. Blogs, Wikis & Social Networking, 31st August
-----------------------------------------------------
As the world wide web moves into another exciting phase, sometimes called Web 2.0, it has never been easier to publish and access information online. Blogs and wikis offer simple, DIY, interactive publishing, while new social software tools enable collaboration online, whether sharing cutting edge research, CVs or holiday snaps. But is this just the latest craze or does it have the potential to revolutionise online information?
