Description

These days, if it's not on the web, almost nobody sees it. So now more than ever university faculty need to know how to use the web as a means of presentation, dissemination and discussion. This workshop is designed to get faculty members on the web quickly by teaching them to design, make and edit:

personal websites

project websites and wikis

class websites and wikis

static web graphics

animated web graphics

audio clips and podcasts

video clips and videocasts

web galleries of graphics and videos

individual blogs

community blogs

discussion blogs

 

All the training takes place in the Information Arcade's computer lab. It is hands-on and project based. As the end of the workshop participants will not only know how to work on the web, they will have done so.

 

Experience Level

Complete novice to advanced – participants will work on individual projects at their own pace.
