| What can I expect to cover? |
The course looks at the many differences between a website and a print document, even when they convey the same information. We will look at how and why people use the web and how this influences the best way to write for it – and why this is important. Working from a practical example, we will then apply what we have learned to some sample text. |

This will really help me to adapt my websites to be more user friendly. Excellent balance of information and practical exercises."
