Hi All,
Please excuse the cross posting.
We’re just putting together a series of practical social media
courses. These courses are run in small groups (8-12) and are all hands-
on with access to PCs and all the kit.
Social Media Basics Friday 5th
February
This one-day practical workshop will explore the
opportunities that social media/Web 2.0 offers your organisation or
institution. The day will focus on free or inexpensive applications and
provide easy ways for you to use new media. The course will help you
understand the jargon and will offer practical guidance on areas including
blogging, social networks, podcasting, wikis and social bookmarks. The
day offers the opportunity for hands on learning: finding blogs and setting up
your own; the differences between Facebook groups and fan pages; creating your
own social network. Cost
from £195
An Introduction to Digital Storytelling (Audio
Slideshows) The BBC, Guardian Unlimited, Christian Aid and
others are just some of the organisations who truly understand the power
and cost effectiveness of digital storytelling through audio slideshows. In one

creating MP3 files, uploading audio to a website and setting up a regular
podcast.
By the end of the day you should be confident in your use
of audio equipment and will have the skills to start producing your own
content. Costs: From £195

training sessions I've ever attended. I came away not just feeling inspired to
make a podcast but knowing that now I could.”
