Testimonials
What participants particularly liked about this short course:
"Marcus came very well-prepared. Resources and CD are fantastic. Examples were relevant o course outcomes. The class - 7 people - was the right size so we all got equal opportunity to ask etc." Lisa Sobrevinas, Communications Officer
"The high level of interactivity and discussion. Relevance through use of our own sites." Amanda McDonald
" I enjoyed this course - I learnt a lot. Marcus made sure to mention blogging - which I was interested in. I also realised that when I changed articles - edited etc I was editing for print and not the web. So it's another step on-top of writing for a particular audience - you have to remember to tailor it for the web." Suganthi Singarayar
"I've found the course practical and interesting - I'll be re-writing much of the content of the website I'm involved in." Coral Cooksley, Marketing and Communications Officer
"Great course. Wish I had done it prior to our web redevelopment. Great resources to take home and use. Good mix of instruction, discussion and practical exercises." Jenny Donovan, Marketing and External Liaison Manager
