Training Materials news from Netskills

To expand on some of the key areas of the popular Instructional Design workshop, Netskills Consultant Trainer Simon Fitzpatrick is rolling out additional web resources this autumn.

Today the Netskills team says goodbye to one of our longest serving trainers, Helen Blanchett, who is leaving to take a leap back to her roots as a librarian.

During 2009 Netskills delivered a UK-wide series of workshops to increase the awareness of JISC's Effective Practice with e-Portfolios publication and the e-Portfolios infoKit from JISC infoNet. Resources used during the workshops, including presentations, links, activities and discussion feedback are now available on the Netskills website.

Are you someone who is enthusiastic about internet technologies and how the web can transform life across the education sector? Netskills are looking for a person with these qualities to join their team.

We're developing a series of guides to emergent web technologies for researchers, teachers and administrators. The guides explain how technologies like RSS, microbloging, podcasting and social media can enhance your working practice.

Training materials to improve information skills in schools have just been released by Netskills. Material to support both the training of staff and the teaching of information skills to pupils are available.

We have released latest updates to our extensive range of Training Materials modules.

Staff and students from most UK universities and colleges no longer need to register a username and password to access our Training Materials. As part of a major revamp of the online access system, we've added the ability for users from licence holding institutions to login using their normal institutional details - via the UK Access Management Federation.

Our Dreamweaver Training Materials have been updated to cover the latest version of the software, Dreamweaver CS3.

The web is awash with tools designed to make your life easier and more productive. Our new Web 2.0 training materials will help you and your organisation make the most of such technologies, including podcasting, RSS, shared calendars, task managers, Netvibes and iGoogle.
