Effective Digital Content: Engaging your online audiences
This session is mandatory if you need access to EdWeb. It is open to all staff and students and available online.
This editorial training course covers good practice in writing and structuring information for the web. It also includes guidance on GDPR and improving performance in search engine results.
What you’ll learn
Find out how to:
- get your critical information noticed
- make your content more accessible
- improve your search engine rankings
- meet data protection legislation
Who should attend?
The session is for anyone who creates digital content for the University - whether it is for a University website or internal site (for example Confluence or SharePoint), and whether you publish it directly or pass to colleagues to put online.
It's deliberately non-technical, and it doesn’t matter how you put your material online.
