Netskills Workshop:
Authoring on the World Wide Web
9:30 - 4:30 Tuesday 19th January 1999 Newcastle University
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.

* beginner's guide to Web authoring
* creation of World Wide Web pages
* use of graphics on Web pages
* publishing documents on a Web server
