Engaging Students in Community and Enterprise

Enterprise Quiz & Demotown Website

 

The Demotown Community Website

www.demotown.localbiz.co.uk - is used in the first student exercise "The Enterprise Quiz". The website contains a mixture of real and imaginary businesses and organisations. For example, Skipton Building Society is real, and Web Design Services is imaginary – but it could be true. These have been added to the Demotown website to show how the business directory and search services work. Enterprising students will also see opportunities for starting - and advertising - their own small businesses within their community.

If you would then like to see more about the Project, and investigate how easy the it is to update the site, then try the Free Evaluation. You will be sent a copy of the "Evaluation Programme", which contains a series of short exercises (for you or a student to do, the first of which is the Enterprise Quiz), a copy of the Short Enterprise Programme Teacher's Guide for review, and full access to all features of the community website.
