Dear Colleague There are still spaces available on the following Netskills workshops that will be running at Newcastle University in September: 1. Information Skills: Is Google Enough? 19th September ----------------------------------------------------- This workshop will give you a greater understanding of how Google works and equip you to search it, and other sites, more effectively. The workshop also provides you with the opportunity to explore what else is out there, learn about new developments in searching and think about how to evaluate web sites for quality. 2. Blogs, Wikis & Social Networking, 20th September ----------------------------------------------------- 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? 3. Writing for the Web, 21st September ----------------------------------------------------- What is so different about writing for the web? The ability to write and re-purpose content for the web is an important skill. Visitors can abandon your site at the click of a button if they are not enticed by what you have written. This workshop will explore a range of proven practical techniques that you will be able to take away and apply directly to your own online content. 4. Essentials of SPSS, 22nd September ----------------------------------------------------- The statistical package SPSS provides sophisticated features for data management, in-depth statistics and automatic statistical graphs. Learn how to use these tools effectively on this practical workshop led by an SPSS specialist and experienced statistician. These workshops also support our BTEC-accredited qualifications: www.netskills.ac.uk/accreditation Further details these workshops and of all Netskills events are available from: www.netskills.ac.uk/workshops Regards Jamie Stogden Netskills University of Newcastle Newcastle-upon-Tyne NE1 7RU tel: 0191 222 5000 fax: 0191 222 5001 web: http://www.netskills.ac.uk/
