Who is this aimed at? How many people from each group can attend?
The sessions are aimed at volunteers of UCV Committees/Teams/Groups who would like to be able to post their committee information and events to the website. Each group can designate a maximum of two persons from within their group to attend the workshops. Computer knowledge level is basic but you must know how to log in to the UCV website. Before attending you will be given sign in access.
What must I bring?
Your own electronic device (laptop, tablet or smart phone).
The text for something you’d like to post to the website. (You’ll likely post as a draft and can add to it later)
Your sign-in user name and password (This will be sent to you prior to the class).
What can I do to prepare?
Try signing in at home to make sure you have access. (Login button is at the very bottom on the right)
There are videos and instruction sheets on posting to the website.
If you have ever posted to wordpress before, these would be helpful to look at for a review.
If you are absolutely brand new, look over these materials and decide whether it’s worth your time or you’d rather wait for the in-person training.
Must I attend all three workshops in this series or can I sign up for workshops separately?
Preferable to sign up for all three sessions.
