Dear Colleague, Netskills will be running the following workshops at UWE (University of the West of England) in January 2005: 1. An Internet Highway Code ...Staying Safe, Secure and Legal Online Tuesday 18th January Despite the protection offered by institutional systems and procedures, both providers and users of web services can still face real risks when online. New evidence suggests that it is people, as much as technology, who compromise security and that many are not aware of the legal, moral and ethical implications of being online and how their actions can have serious repercussions for themselves and their employers. 2. Detecting and Deterring Plagiarism ...The Web: Hindrance or Help? Wednesday 19th January This is a practical workshop aimed at staff in further and higher education institutions who wish to find out more about the impact of the web on plagiarism, and how to deal with it. As well as gaining a thorough understanding of issues concerned with plagiarism, participants will also explore essay banks, online plagiarism detection services, and, through discussions and scenarios, consider different approaches to deterring plagiarism. Full details of these workshops, together with booking forms are available from our events web-site: http://www.netskills.ac.uk/workshops/forthcoming.html For those seeking a nationally-recognised qualification, Netskills workshops can be accredited through BTEC as part of the Netskills professional development certificate scheme: http://www.netskills.ac.uk/accreditation/ Regards, Steve Boneham. Netskills, University of Newcastle, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, NE1 7RU.
