Press release writing course delegates:

"The press release course was great fun and very useful with lots of hands on practice.  The online group also created a real feeling of community spirit!" - Michelle Austick, Leicester Tigers.

Thank you very much Dave, it's been a really constructive course and I'm sure that I will take advantage of your kind offer to run a few things past you in the future. I've already had an useful insight into the way the editor's mind works and once I get the first few press releases in the paper I should be able to stand alone!
Thanks again (delegate from Welsh manufacturing company)

 

Here are some comments from current users of Webucate (other programmes):

"The e-group link is really useful and I've made good use of it (although admittedly more as a lurker!)
All in all I am really glad I did consider this course."
Stephan Phillips, Director of Advertisement Sales, Eastern Counties Newspapers Ltd. (a student on an MSc programme)

and here's a follow-up from Stephan)

Yes, I've stopped lurking for a minute.

During the whole process lurking on the egroup has given me a lot of encouragement, and Lynn, my tutor has been really excellent, using just the right skills to help me  and coach me to achieve the next stage. Without her support it would not have happened.

I did  hit a block and nearly gave up, but am through it now, and looking forward to getting the project completed, whatever the outcome.

A colleague at work is 3/4 way through a PhD, and has stopped for 4 months. He's hit a block, and I'm busy trying to persuade him to keep going. He doesn't have the support mechanism that this group gave me, so thanks for all the encouragement, because without it I would not have gone as far as I have.

I think you can't do this type of study in total isolation. You need people who know what you are going through, or at least a knowledge that other people are going through what you are!

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again, hopefully with those funny hats and coats. (at the graduation ceremony - editor)

Some comments from administrators:

'Since we introduced the ecommunity aspect through Webucate, the results and particularly the retention rates have been spectacular'.  Frances Clarke (Education Programmes Manager)

'Webucate is just what we have always needed to keep a disparate group of busy executives on track to complete their courses.  It's particularly important where delegates are based in various countries in the Gulf region, and don't physically meet each other very often.'  Rob Rice Managing Director of Middle East Consultants Ltd

'Our results on the MSc in Marketing part-time programme have been much much better than the university had any right to expect.  We think this is largely due to the mutual support structures that are provided by the e-group function within Webucate'  Robin Croft Head of Marketing, the Business School Glamorgan University
