Core webinar: Writing for the Web

Date: Wednesday, May 5, 2021

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.



Description: We will start off by talking about how people read online and
the way they look for the content to answer their questions. After
understanding how people read online we will discuss what the inverted
pyramid style is and how it can be used to write effective content. Next we
will take a look at some examples of well formatted content and deconstruct
it. Along the way we will be doing some short exercises where we will
rewrite content to make it easier to be read online. The webinar will help
provide you with practice in how to format content and create something
that is a bit more concise and user-friendly.
