Event Feedback
I really enjoyed the event and was inspired to use the new technologies. The trainers were helpful, approachable and created a relaxed atmosphere that encouraged participation. I can't praise it enough really, a day well spent.

The Project
Emerging technologies such as blogs, wikis, podcasts and social networks provide a powerful way to enhance project communications, allowing community engagement, encouraging reflection and enabling user feedback to direct the project.
To help project teams from the JISC e-Learning programme to consider their use of technology for communication, Netskills was commissioned to develop and deliver a custom event.
The Event
An excellent programme with very polished presenters and presentations. It was a very valuable day.
Sarah Knight, JISC e-Learning programme manager
Overview
Participants identified the different audiences for their project, considered their communication needs, and discussed effective ways to meet those needs through the use of technology.
Event Feedback
This was the spur necessary to get me to take on RSS feeds. I now have a Pageflakes pagecast and will be adding RSS feeds to our staff development workshops. Put me down as one satisfied customer!
