Content is User Experience! Join me in the Studio@Butler for the Content as UX workshop series. The sessions will be held on August 7, 15, and 21 (all Thursdays) from 10-11:30 a.m. Please RSVP via email to candicekail@columbia.edu.
Content as UX: Creating Content & Writing for the Web is a series of three workshops to help you explore online expression in various forms and to learn about creating effective online content, whether you want to give readers the information they need quickly or entice them to explore more fully. We read and negotiate information differently in an online context. This series explores how we read in online environments and how to craft our online content to best engage our users.
Just as literature encompasses various forms, from sonnets to novels to theatrical comedies, so does online writing and content. From tweets, social media posts, and mobile content to blog articles and expository content, writing for the web involves a mixture of talent, inspiration, craft, and artistry. In much the same way that an informational brochure’s content differs from the content of an article, web content changes depending on its function and where it resides. Like other types of content, the way it is crafted and developed can impact its effectiveness.
In this workshop, you will begin to think more critically about web content, learn writing techniques suited to the web as a medium in its various forms, and work on developing an approach to your own web content. Join me for three sessions and begin to reshape your online communication approach.
Thanks to all who attended the Creating Content & Writing for the Web Seminar Series! I found it really valuable to hear your insights and read your feedback, and I thoroughly enjoyed our sessions. Here’s to Content as UX!
I’m working on pulling together all of the materials we used into blog posts. In the meantime, I’ve attached my slides from session two and session three, as well as my initial working bibliography.
I’m also exploring ways to share online resources effectively. I’m going to start with the Blog Roll and see how quickly that becomes overwhelming!
I’ve been thinking more about content as user experience, and how our content is the reason our users return again and again. The conversations we have with our online community are really key, and valuably contribute to our endeavors to create communities of research, teaching, learning, and inquiry (thanks CCNMTL rewired!). I’m finding new materials on digital writing, which will impact the next seminar series and which I will share (once I’ve had time to digest the ideas a little more thoroughly).
Join me in the Studio@Butler for Creating Content and Writing for the Web. The workshops will be held on April 15, 22, and 29 (all Tuesdays) from 2-3:30 p.m. Please RSVP candicekail@columbia.edu.
Creating Content and Writing for the Web is a short series of workshops for librarians and other content contributors within the libraries to explore online expression in various forms. Just as literature encompasses various forms – from haiku to the novel to theatrical comedies – so too does online writing and content. From tweets, social media posts, and mobile content to blog articles and expository content, writing for the web involves a mixture of talent, inspiration, craft, and artistry. In much the same way that an informational brochure’s content differs from the content of an article, web content changes depending on its function and where it resides. Like other types of content, the way it is crafted and the processes by which it’s developed can impact its effectiveness. In this workshop, participants will begin to think more critically about web content, learn techniques suited to the web as a medium in its various forms, and work on developing an approach to their own web content. Join me for three sessions and begin to reshape your online communication approach!

I will be conducting a Creating Content and Writing for the Web series that will cover the different kinds of content on our websites, best practices, things to think about, and how to approach a content refresh for your page, section, site, and beyond! Stay tuned for dates and times, as well as a more complete syllabus. I am currently estimating 2 – 3 sessions.
