Dear Colleague
Netskills will be running the following workshops at the West of Scotland Science Park and Strathclyde University, Glasgow:
West of Scotland Science Park
1. Blogs, Wikis & Social Networking, 27th March
-----------------------------------------------------
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?
2. Information Skills & Staff Development, 28th March
-----------------------------------------------------
From getting the most out of Google to managing information overload - effective information skills ('i-Skills') are essential for anyone working in today's Information Age. Information skills are often neglected in staff development, but they can lead to improved sharing of information, reduced duplication of effort and time-saving. This workshop will provide the opportunity to consider how you and your institution currently address i-Skills staff development, and develop strategies for improvement.
This workshop is available at the reduced rate of only £45 to attendees from UK Higher and Further Education or Adult and Community Learning.
Strathclyde University
1. Detecting and Deterring Plagiarism, 4th April
-----------------------------------------------------
The issue of plagiarism has been around for centuries, but its impact has escalated with the growth of the world wide web, with its vast range of content, easy opportunities for cut-and-paste, and growing market of commercial sites helping the potential plagiarist. The education sector has seen a significant increase in cases of plagiarism in recent years, with observers suspecting that many more cases go undetected and/or unreported. While sophisticated online services can help with the detection of web-based plagiarism, long-term deterrence lies with appropriate course design and effective institutional policies.
