Who are the courses for?
Anyone who writes documents that are published on intranets and web sites. That's probably you if you are a salaried worker in a government agency, school, university, non-governmental organisation, not-for-profit, or medium to large business. Web content is not specialist work now: web writing is business writing, and business writing is web writing.

When and where do I study?
Choose your own time and place to study. Revisit Contented courses as often as you like over 3 months.

Tips for studying Contented courses
Why can't I just read a book?
Telling is not teaching, and reading is not learning. You need to study real web pages online, do exercises, and test your own knowledge.
Do Contented courses teach plain language?
Absolutely. Contented includes a course on plain language. More significantly, the principles of plain language underpin all our teaching. Essentially, the courses will enable you to apply plain language principles to the medium of the web.
What standards do the courses comply with?
The courses comply with SCORM in most particulars. (SCORM provides technical standards that enable web-based learning systems to find, import, share, reuse, and export learning content in a standardized way.) Contented courses also comply with World Wide Web Consortium standards for accessibility.
