You might think online communication is all about creating expensive websites and hiring experts to sort out all the technology, but it doesn’t have to be like that.
Effective online communication is all about building relationships and collaboration and there’s a raft of online tools out there to help us do just that.
What the day is about
Get your message across more effectively
The next NICVA Members’ Day will look at how you can make the best use of online communications in your organisation. The training will help demystify the Web and give you some practical skills to help you get to grips with using the new technology and writing effectively for the web.
There are two sessions, which will run concurrently in the morning and afternoon, so you can sign up for the morning, the afternoon, or both. The morning session runs from 10.15am -12.45pm and the afternoon session runs from 1.30pm - 4.00pm.
Session 1: Get connected – tools, tips and techniques for communicating online
You may have heard of web2.0, social web, blogs, podcasting, flickr or youtube. You might think these things are just for the ‘web-savvy’ or ‘techie’ types, but the technology is surprisingly easy to use.
This session will explore some of these easy to use tools and give you an insight into how to set up a website/blog and publish photos and videos online.
Speakers: Stephen Gray, ICT Manager, NICVA, and Feargal O’Kane, Web Developer, NICVA.
Session 2: Effective writing for the web
No matter how impressive looking your site is users will only return and engage with your message if the content is relevant and professional. Too often the actual content on a website is overlooked, or organisations assume that the same content will work in print and on-screen.
This session will explore how to write for the web and manage email lists and groups.
Speaker: John McCormick, Information Officer, NICVA.

Anyone who is involved in developing their organisation’s online communications and getting your message across.
