This document discusses best practices for writing web content. It recommends writing in a scannable way using highlighted keywords, meaningful sub-headings, bulleted lists, and one idea per paragraph. Users tend to scan web pages rather than read word-by-word. Headlines should be short, information-rich, and front-load keywords. Teasers are important to entice users to click through and should summarize the story while leaving some details undisclosed. Visual elements like photos and bullet lists can break up blocks of text.
"People read differently online than they do when they read print materials -- web users typically scan for information." Hence writing for the web requires a different approach. This presentation will help you understand the style and structure of writing for web.

The quality of a newspaper depends upon the skills, abilities and knowledge of its Sub Editors, also known as the Copy Editors. This slide outlines the role and responsibilities of Sub Editors/Copy Editors in newspapers.
At WordCamp Ottawa on April 27, 2013, I talked about how to write a blog post, which is a topic that often gets lost among all the discussions on design and functionality. The quality of content is really one of the core reasons people come to a website. A lot of us get stuck when writing posts, so I came up with some ways to generate ideas, decide how to package them into a blog-like format, and then finally write them. There are also some tips for streamlining your workflow in WordPress.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

4. The F Theory
Of Pattern of Reading Web Content
By the way: F is for FAST! What were you thinking?
6. Headlines
The average headline is mere 5 words and 34 characters.
So, good headlines are
• short
• rich in information scent
• front-loaded with the keywords
• understandable out of context
• predictable
http://www.useit.com/alertbox/headlines-bbc.html
7. Teaser
The first paragraph of news is not the lead
Teaser is important for two reasons
• Users do not read much on the web
• On index page (such as homepage), only
headlines and teasers are displayed.
Teaser is a paragraph that tells the details of the news story but should also leave lure
user to click to read full story!
It should contain many of 5WH to summarize story but could leave one or two to keep
the interest!
9. Long story short

One idea per paragraph
One or two short sentence per paragraph
Blank line after each paragraph VISUAL STUFFS
Break after 4 or 5 paragraphs by sub-title or visual stuff • Photo

SUB-TITLE
Could be simple ‘what to come’ summary or quote or
simple two-word description
No need to stress over to find clever sub-title
