Abstract

Are courses and workshops a requirement for new HTML authors within the University? An alternative may be to investigate the skills development of existing HTML authors within the 'communities of practitioners' at the University to suggest a model for future authors. A survey was conducted by the Centre for Staff Development amongst departmental and section Web authors to determine how the skills were acquired, what resources might be useful to support their continued development and how they might be shared with new authors. Results of the survey are discussed .
