The course is taught by Merry Bruns, a web editor, producer and instructor with extensive experience in both online writing and corporate training. The material for the seminar comes from her work in online writing, editing and content development, along with her experience in maintaining a focus on the audience. As with all the Library's class offerings, the seminar is a hands-on experience that deals with timely website development issues. The small-group classroom includes computers for every student. The maximum number of students is 14, so participants will enjoy a great deal of interaction between the instructor and colleagues.
Payment is required at time of registration.
