An intensive workshop over half a day, our Building Communities and Networks Online Level 2 course concentrates on exploring and resolving real-life editorial and technical issues you face in managing your online community or community of practice (COP)...

The tutor Lizzie Jackson, who created and ran the BBC Communities, will take the class through the major issues, challenges and opportunities in managing an online community. Lizzie was voted 'One of the 100 Innovators of the UK Internet Decade' in October, 2004 by NOP World and e-consultancy.com. The technical tutor is Will Wharfe.

Aim:

Geared to new media professionals already active in the field, the course is designed to further enhance management and troubleshooting capabilities deployed in the business and practice of running an online community.

Course structure:

Attendees will supply an advance overview of key issues they face for the tutors, alongside a strategic outline of their community or COP's objectives, plus some information on their audience/members. This will form the basis of the tasks and analysis undertaken in the day's workshops.

Tailored to tackle delegates individual needs, the day's introduction will also raise the common issues faced by group members. Delegates will then split into two groups and each participate in two workshops:

(1) An editorial workshop, led by course leader Lizzie Jackson.

(2) A technical workshop, led by social software maintenance expert Will Wharfe.

The two groups will then re-join for a review of the main issues, and approaches to tackling them, raised in the day. Future trends, regulation and additional sources of learning and support on online social environments will also be covered.

A full course outline and learning materials will be supplied. Refreshments will also be included, along with an opportunity for networking. Exclusive follow-up information will provide delegates with an opportunity for ongoing support.
