Internet Citizenship

"Is it all practice? Don't you get any formal training to be a Master?"

"They give you a book to read."

I hung a fresh-washed silk scarf on the flying wires and stared at him. "A book?"

"Saviour's Manual. It's kind of the bible for masters."

Richard Bach, 1977, Illusions.

Train the Internet Trainer

A studio based course by Jonathan O'Donnell.

In this course, you will gain the confidence to set up and run your own Internet training course.

Topics covered:

Advertising your course;
Finding a training venue;
Setting costs;
Developing a course outline;
Developing subject material and resources;
Feedback to and from students.

Working from the Internet knowledge that you already have, we will address the following questions:

Who is your audience?
What do they want to learn?
What resources do you have at your disposal?
What do you need to learn? What are the gaps in your knowledge?
How are you going to get people to come?
How much will you charge them?
Will they be satisfied?
How can you keep up to date, once this course is finished?

The course will be run in a studio style. That is, you will be responsible for developing your own goals, setting your own time lines and assessing the value of your work. Certificates of attendance will be provided after you attend four sessions. Certificates of completion will be awarded once you have established and run your first course to your satisfaction and the satisfaction of the trainer.

The course will not cover:

Accreditation;
Getting connected to the Internet; and
Basic introduction to the Internet.
