JustWrite ­ an online course on effective writing
-------------------------------------------------
 
Is your writing getting the results you want?
 
Perhaps you find writing a chore. Perhaps you know what you want to 
say, but not how to say it. Perhaps you need to polish your skills.
 
If so, then JustWrite is just what you need.
 
JustWrite is a unique online learning experience, created for anybody 
needing to write powerful, persuasive documents.
 
JustWrite is ideal for anybody producing a:
 
* research report;
* thesis;
* book or book chapter;
* advocacy document;
* paper for publication;
* essay;
 
- or any other substantial piece of writing.
 
In three intensive weeks, JustWrite will guide you from conception to 
final draft, covering the key areas of:
 
* planning;
* outlining;
* writing a first draft; and
* editing to create a final version.
 
The course combines study material, stimulating interactive exer-
cises, lively online discussion with your fellow participants and - 
crucially ­ individual tuition. Study is broken down into daily hour-
long slots - making the course suitable for those in full time em-
ployment.
 
You will also be able to produce a real document, using a series of 
closely marked assignments.
 
You will be supplied with a free, specially designed CD-ROM, contain-
ing all the study materials you will need, including interactive ex-
ercises and assignments. It also contains sections on grammar, punc-
tuation and stylistic issues ­ together with a reading list and 
guides to further study - making it an invaluable reference tool af-
ter you have completed the course.
 
Alan Barker, MA Cantab, has written the course and will be your 
online tutor. Alan has written fourteen books, including Writing at 
Work (Industrial Society, 1999). He is also the author of two previ-
ous CD-ROMs, Write Now! (Capita Learning and Development, 2003), and 
Writing for Change (Fahamu & IDRC, 2000). Course Director: Dr Firoze 
Manji, Director of Fahamu and Visiting Fellow, Kellogg College, Uni-
versity of Oxford.
 
Requirements: Computer (PC or Mac) with CD-ROM drive and minimum of 
64 MB RAM; e-mail address.
 
The next online course begins on 14 July 2003. You can be anywhere in 
the world to benefit from this course; you only need access to a com-
puter and e-mail. Places are limited, so book early.
 
Or reserve a place on a course in September, October and November 
2003.
