Web writing elearning course

Who it’s for

This course has been designed for anyone wanting to improve the wording on their websites or intranets. No technical knowledge or accomplished writing standard is assumed. Just a basic ability in English writing and spelling is needed.

Professional communicators and technical web staff will also benefit, as the training covers some new ground and very recent research.

The course consists of 10 lessons, each about 30 minutes. You do the training online connected to our elearning web host which keeps track of where you are and the scores you achieve on the quizzes. You will be able to print out a certificate on satisfactory completion of the course.

Why elearning?

A number of clients or potential clients had asked us for a web writing elearning course. They gave a number of reasons:

• staff located too far away from public course locations (perhaps overseas)
• too few staff to justify an inhouse course
• an urgent need to get someone trained quickly
• freelancers or charities that have a limited budget
• prefer self-paced training
• corporates that needed an authoritative web writing course to add to a suite of inhouse elearning training

our aims

So having identified the needs, we then designed a course that would match most of them. This proved to be a major, time-consuming but absorbing project. As we set the standards in tutor-delivered web writing training we were not going to settle for second best with our elearning product.

The priority aim was to get staff up-to-speed with web writing in the shortest practical time balanced with achieving a good standard.

The weakness of many elearning courses is that they take too long and people get bored and don’t finish them. So we omitted issues that won’t concern most web writers. We also made sure that the learner is kept actively benefiting from practicals, visually involved and, hopefully, occasionally amused.

The practicals are in themselves engaging, and mirror typical content we see on the web today. Check out the course content
