Warm-Up 1

This is the post to which you add your Warm-Up 1 task as a Comment (i.e. click on the Comment button below). When you do that, don't forget to write your name on the post! You'd be amazed how much detective work I sometimes have to do!


Warm-Up 1 asks you to write a personal presentation for a web site. This is a general message that goes out to everyone who visits the web site of the new company you've just got a job with. I.e. it needs to be informative, but a bit general - and a good piece of advertising for your new employer. In other words, you need to show how smart your new employer is for hiring you!


You'll find a couple of useful links on the Warm-Up 1 page: one from the 'How to Do Things' site with some general advice, and an example of personal presentations from the Ericsson company.


When the Warm-Ups have all been marked and sent back (by me, David), I'll post a general comment in a post on this blog, with advice for everyone about Send-In Task 1.

We're up and running

I've just made the Module links live, so you can start studying the course now.

You'll notice (from the Course Timetable in the Business Pages section) that you're working on a three week schedule: first a Warm-Up Task; then a Send-In Task; and finally a week off!

I'm going to try to get everyone's Warm-Up Tasks marked and returned in good time for you to write a Send-In Task which builds on what you learned from the Warm-Up Task.

Good luck - and we hope you enjoy the course!
