Professional Online Editing Training Course
Become a Better Online Content Editor
There is a difference between editing print writing and editing web writing. This is because online readers have different expectations – online readers are browsers, they tend to very quickly reject or read-on depending on how the content is presented, how it is written and whether the content or webpage ‘grabs’ them in the first few seconds.
Some important considerations when writing for online readers includes:
- Your writing style – it must be succinct and easily understood yet engaging.
- Your audience – the style of your writing must be attractive to your audience and change as the audience changes.
- The way in which your page is structured – it must be visually appealing, interesting, consistent in appearance and style and relevant to the topic.
Modules
Note that each module in the Qualification - Certificate in Online Content Editing is a short course in its own right, and may be studied separately.
WHAT NEEDS ONLINE EDITING?
Anything that is published on the internet is potentially in need of editing. This obviously includes the general content of web sites; but more specifically can include blogs, articles, postings on social media, newsletters, electronic books and magazines; online course materials and much more.
Editing online content may have different challenges to editing material for printing. Online editors need to understand, and probably be able to edit, the layout as well as images and text, all at the same time. This can have challenges that a book editor who is focused purely on text, might not face.
