                                   Part 1 - Pre-Migration Learning

               Now you know the background and have seen the big picture of the training and
               migration process it’s time for some hands-on.  There are just a few practical
               things you need to complete first and then you’ll be ready to go.
               Resources Required and Where to Find Them

               The primary resource is your own time to complete this workbook.  Additional
               resources you will need at various times are detailed below and are referenced
               at appropriate times on the following pages.
               As well as this workbook* which you will receive after your Zoom Introduction
               session you will need a copy of Local WP WordPress development software to
               run on your own computing device.  You will also need a current copy of the u3a
               demo site to be able to work through the product sections that follow and to do
               your own self-checks.

               You will find links plus all necessary instructions to get Local and the demo site
               on the SiteWorks website.  Go to https://siteworks.u3a.org.uk/ then Web
               Managers > Install Local WP.  This will talk you through the process.  Local runs on
               MacOS, Linux or Windows and generally you will need 4Gb of RAM and 1.5GB of
               disk space available.
                  *    The screenshots shown in this workbook reflect the first u3a SiteWorks
                       release late 2023.  They might vary slightly over the course of the
                       migration project but will not significantly affect the learning.

               Note:  u3a SiteWorks has planned product development over the coming
               months.  This workbook and these resources reflect the status now.  If you have
               not yet been invited to attend the Zoom introductory session to join the training
               and migration programme then please don’t waste your time completing this
               workbook now as parts of it will be out of date by the time it is your turn for
               migration.  Please be patient and use the most up to date resources at the
               appropriate time.  This is for your benefit and you will have plenty of time to learn
               and practice during your migration time.

               This workbook will be updated as new features and functions are released and
               Web Managers who have completed migration will be kept informed of these
               changes and provided with additional learning materials as required.

                                                              Two videos are referenced and are
                                                              demonstrations of SiteWorks by our
                                                              Lead Developer, Nick Talbott.

                                                              Nick’s original early 2023 SiteWorks
                                                              demo** is on the SiteWorks website.
                                                              Go to https://siteworks.u3a.org.uk/
                                                              then Web Managers >User Guides and
                                                              you will find the video on that page.
