Social Media Basics
sounddelivery’s one-day interactive and practical workshop explores the opportunities that social media offers your organisation or institution. The day will focus on free or inexpensive applications and provide easy ways for you to use new media. The course will help you understand the jargon and will offer practical guidance on areas including blogging, social networks, podcasting, wikis and social bookmarks.
Our style of training is learning by doing so the workshop offers plenty of opportunities for hands-on learning; setting up a blog, the differences between Facebook groups and fanpages, creating your own social network, getting started on Twitter and lots more. We constantly review all our courses to take into account changing technological developments so that they remain up-to-date, practical and targeted to your needs.
