This workshop will focus on basic syntax and a few basic tags every online instructor should know. If you use a course management system (such as Blackboard) that allows you to create and or edit Web-type documents, this is the place for you. Come learn how to manipulate text (bold, underline, subscript, superscript, etc.), create hyperlinks, and create anchors to link to other sections of the same page. We will also be giving away a prize at the end of the session, but you must be present online to win!
