The first half of the workshop will feature a hands-on introduction to PressForward. The workshop will cover accessing PressForward from the WordPress Dashboard, adding feeds, selecting content to review, and organizing and publishing curated content. Attendees will also explore the editorial practice of group curation, and consider how PressForward might be integrated into a range of projects inside and outside the classroom at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. There are no prerequisites to enroll, though some familiarity with WordPress would be useful.
During the second half of the workshop, participants with some experience using PressForward will look at examples of PressForward’s use across a range of institutions, explore how to organize and activate communities of users, explore methods for recruiting and training new users, and learn how to engage with PressForward’s active support community and forums. 
NOTE: These will be “hands on” workshops. Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops. A limited number of laptops will be available to borrow on site.
