T4 Site Manager and writing for the web training sessions

Tuesday 6 March 2012

We are now making a more concerted effort to provide training to our users on a more regular basis.

TerminalFour Site Manager

T4 Site Manager training will now be held monthly.

This session gives an overview of Site Manager and how to add and edit content. It is intended for those who have not used Site Manager before, or for those who would like a refresher.

The next sessions will be held on the following dates:

  • Monday 12 March 2012 — 2pm to 5pm
  • Monday 16 April 2012 — 2pm to 5pm
  • Monday 14 May 2012 — 2pm to 5pm
  • Monday 11 June 2012 — 2pm to 5pm

Book a place on a T4 Site Manager training session using PDMS.

Training takes place in the Swallowgate PC classroom, on the corner of Butts Wynd and The Scores (view map).

Writing for the web

For the first time, we will also now be offering regular writing for the web training sessions.

When writing for the web your content needs to be concise and scannable. Users find it harder to read from a screen than from paper, so special techniques are required to ensure that your message gets across on the web. We need to write our content in such a way that we help users find the information they are looking for as quickly as possible.

We have become increasingly aware that the quality of content on the University website can vary greatly. By offering users the opportunity to learn about the techniques required to write suitably for the web, we hope to help improve the quality of the website.

These sessions will also run monthly. The next few sessions will be on the following dates:

  • Monday 26 March 2012 — 2pm to 5pm
  • Monday 30 April 2012 — 2pm to 5pm
  • Monday 28 May 2012 — 2pm to 5pm
  • Monday 25 June 2012 — 2pm to 5pm

  • Friday 13 April 2012 — 12 noon to 2pm
  • Friday 11 May 2012 — 12 noon to 2pm
