9:30 - 4:30 Wednesday 16th July Manchester Computing
and
9:30 - 4:30 Thursday 24th July Bristol University
The Internet is becoming increasingly important in higher
education (HE). It is now an essential medium for accessing,
delivering and exchanging information. Resources are now
available that provide a number of opportunities for teaching
and learning in HE, for example: collaborative tools; question
and answer mechanisms; easily accessible teaching programs and
distance learning modules. This workshop aims to introduce and
explore some of the tools and techniques for teaching using the
Internet and provide training in authoring basic World Wide Web
pages.
Workshop Content:
The workshop will comprise presentations, demonstrations and hands-on
sessions with opportunities for discussion. Participants will receive
a workbook which contains workshop exercises, presentation slides and
other relevant materials.
Topics covered will include:
online tutorial courses
distance learning
searching for teaching-related information
subject gateways
email, discussion lists
newsgroups
HTML authoring techniques
creating active web pages
introduction to Java and Active-X
Workshop Requirements:
Participants need no special technical skills; however, for the
hands-on sessions they will find it helpful to have had some
experience of using a PC and the Microsoft Windows environment.
The cost of the workshop is 45 pounds for participants from
higher education (Netskills is funded by the Higher Education
Funding Councils). Other participants should contact Netskills for the
relevant fees. Note: Costs include lunch, morning coffee and afternoon
