Netskills Workshop:
Authoring on the World Wide Web
09:30 - 16:30 Tuesday 11th January 2000 Goldsmiths College
The World Wide Web (WWW) is becoming increasingly
pervasive in society, covering all aspects of everyday life
including commerce, leisure and education. One of the
key features of the WWW is the ease with which
individuals can publish information, and the simplicity
with which sophisticated and exciting results can be
achieved in a short space of time.
This is a practical workshop for those who are users of
the World Wide Web and wish to start creating their own Web pages.
It is suitable for researchers and academics from any
discipline, university administrators, librarians and
computing service staff.
Workshop Content:
The workshop will comprise presentations, demonstrations and
hands-on sessions with opportunities for questions and discussion.
Participants will each receive a workbook which contains workshop
exercises, presentation slides and other relevant materials.
Topics covered will include:
* beginner's guide to Web authoring
* creation of World Wide Web pages
* use of graphics on Web pages
* publishing documents on a Web server
* use of Web authoring packages
* converting existing documents for use on the Web
* validation of Web documents
* Web page design issues
By the end of the workshop participants will have:
* written simple Web pages using HTML tags
* included graphics in their Web pages
* practised using hypertext to link to other pages
* published Web pages on the Netskills Web server
* seen examples of different Web design styles
* had an opportunity to discuss design issues
* included colours and background images in their Web pages
Workshop Requirements:
Participants need no special technical skills; however
basic computer skills such as using a mouse and
keyboard are essential, and experience of using
Microsoft Windows to open and save files and open and close
applications e.g. a Word processor. Participants
are expected to have seen the World Wide Web and
used a Web browser such as Netscape or Internet Explorer.
The cost of the workshop is £ 105 for participants from higher and
further education. Other participants should contact Netskills for the
