Dear Colleague
Netskills will be running the following workshops at Edinburgh’s Telford College:
1. Information Skills: Is Google Enough? 2nd November
-----------------------------------------------------
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. Train the Trainer, 3rd November
-----------------------------------------------------
This workshop provides advice and guidance for running face-to-face training courses on topics related to the internet. Drawing on Netskills' experience of over 10 years of delivering training, the workshop considers all aspects of the training process, from initial planning and design, through to development of materials and delivery of live demonstrations, finishing with evaluation techniques.
3. CSS: A Complete Web Style Toolkit, 9th November
-----------------------------------------------------
This workshop and offers a complete, practical guide to the use of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to deliver professional-looking, accessible and cost-effective web content. If you are familiar with the basics of HTML and are now looking to enhance the presentation of your web pages (or perhaps unravel the work of a previous developer!) you will leave equipped with a practical understanding of the most useful tools that CSS puts at your disposal.
4. Accessibility, Usability and Your Web Site, 10th November
-----------------------------------------------------
Understanding the different ways that people interact the web is the key to being able to provide a better online experience for everyone - but there is still a tendency for developers to focus on solutions for users with visual impairment. This workshop will introduce a more holistic approach to making accessible, usable web content and key evaluation techniques that you can use on your own (and other people's) web sites.
These workshops also support our BTEC-accredited qualifications:
