Following on from Rebecca Rodger’s article Helping intranet authors write quality content, it’s worth highlighting that Rebecca runs in-house “writing for the intranet” courses throughout Australia.

Writing for the intranet

Good quality intranet content is integral to the success of an intranet. These full day hands-on writing for the web workshops will equip intranet authors with the skills and knowledge to improve their intranet content for scanability and usefulness.

Topics modules can include:

• the purposes of an intranet
• writing for the web key principles
• understanding your user and their needs
• common pitfalls for intranet content
• elements of great content (with specific ideas to help you improve your content)
• tests for quality content
• top tips for improving intranet content
• let’s write: hands on activity to re-write your content

With up to 15 participants per workshop, participants will learn the key principles and good writing techniques. There will also be an opportunity to write or re-write existing content within the workshop environment which means content is ready to go when it comes time to migrate content or launch the new intranet.
