This one day workshop looks at the phenomenon called Web 2.0 as a “Super User” not a developer or IT expert.
Networking Via the Web course
The workshop looks at optimising web browsing, getting the most out of RSS, the potential and expectations of mobile web access, applications on the move, and the usefulness of Social Networking.
Practical elements throughout the day will enable participants to begin networking online, embed dynamic content and personal updates directly to their own web sites or blogs in the classroom, providing real experience of the skills needed to do it.
This course is aimed at media and entertainment creatives who will be introduced to a variety of free online tools, community platforms and collaborative services through hands-on sessions.
