Computer & Phone Skills Training
Course Overview
Adults of any age are encouraged to sign up and take classes. The adults will be paired with one University student who will teach them one-on-one. Class leaders and a graduate assistant will continually observe and be available for assistance.
On the first day, you will go through a list of all the topics that can be covered during the 8 weeks. You and your tutor will design a learning plan that you will follow through the 8 weeks. We will be using the gcflearnfree.org website for our curriculum. You will be able to access the materials each week to practice what you learned and look ahead to the next week.
The participant and tutor will work together to determine the best way to interact. The tutor will be able to demonstrate skills and assist the participant in repeating those skills.
