Online courses in Writing for Pubic Relations and Knowledge Management?

[Paul Holland]

Can anyone offer a recommendation on a good place to find online courses in Writing for Pubic Relations and Knowledge Management?   Specificially a university-sponsored  course, non-credit continuing education/ professional development  program or  an academic offering.  If you have had good or bad experiences with an online course in these areas, please advise as well.

Thanks,

I am a member of ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) and they offer free-to-their-members independent learning in a wide variety of
computing- and business-related topics. They just switched providers last week, but so far the courses look worthwhile. They provide Continuing Education Unit values and some of the offerings are, for instance, Microsoft or Sun certification coursework.

Read more about the program here:

The courses are programmed courses, not online classes where you interact with an instructor and other students. You work on the assignments at your own pace and test at intervals.

ACM also offers a library of online professional and reference books to its members (http://pd.acm.org/books/books.cfm) and a host of other privileges and services, including SIGDOC, the special interest group on design of communication, and SIGCHI, for computer-human interaction.

If you work with/among computers or software, ACM may be a worthwhile augmentation to your STC membership.
