]]> <![CDATA[My Learning Contributor Training Days this Autumn - Sign up now!]]> Have resources on My Learning or want to? With over 600,000 unique visits a year and growing and the personal touch when it comes to support, you should think about attending this training.

If you're a contributor who hasn't uploaded for a while, a regular, or a new contributor thinking about writing your first resource - this training is for you.  And even better – it’s free!

We are running one more event this Autumn on the following date:
 
6th December, Lincolnshire Archives, Lincoln - Click here to book
 
We’ll be covering the following topics and more:
 

How to signpost to online content from your venue

A practical session on using tools like QR codes within the built environment to signpost visitors to your content online. Including how to generate your codes, how to link them with your My Learning resources, and practical issues around implementation within your museum or gallery space.
 

How to evaluate your online resources

This session will look at how you can evaluate the use of your resource using Google Analytics. Whether you're new to Analytics or you currently monitor your resources, we will be looking at industry standard performance indicators, what data you should be collecting and how you can use the information gathered to improve your resources and their reach.
 

How to add content using our new (and simple!) upload system

At My Learning we have been working on making it far easier for you to add content and create new resources. We'll take a look at how this works and show you how easy it is to publish!

The training will act as an essential update for those of you who have been with us for some time, and for newcomers it’ll be an ideal introduction to what we do and a chance to put faces to names too.
 
Places are limited and allocated on a first come first served basis, so follow the links above to secure your place!

It’s so simple to book, please follow the links above to our Eventbrite pages. If you need any help or would like to book the old-fashioned way, please don’t hesitate to get in touch - info@mylearning.org
