Over the last year, the JISC Strategic Content Alliance (SCA) and Netskills have been running a workshop on ‘Maximising Online Resource Effectiveness’ in different venues across the country. Content from the day (slides and pictures) can now be found on the accompanying SCAMORE website together with some news, interviews with participants, and archived tweets from the training days.
The two-day event, with the sub-title “How to use the latest techniques to improve the quality of your web presence” deals with topics such as:
- How to improve search and discovery of online resources
- An exploration of technologies such as HTML5 and CSS3
- Emerging search engine enhancements and techniques
- The importance of the semantic web and semantic mark-up
- Accessibility issues and access management
- Content integrity and reaching the right audience
- Metadata and its significance, particularly RDFa
- The use of social media including cloud and blog services
