LEARNING CENTER OVERVIEW
SeniorNet Learning
Centers offer computer classes specifically designed for adults 50 and older.
Since 1986 SeniorNet has educated over a million older adults about computers
and the Internet to enrich their lives and enable them to share their
wisdom.
The SeniorNet Learning Centers offer a low-cost, friendly introduction
to using computers. SeniorNet's basic curriculum is comprised of courses on
computer fundamentals, introduction to computers, word processing, exploring
Windows, Internet and email.
More advanced courses offered by the Learning
Centers include topics such as genealogy, graphics, digital photography, and
financial management using a computer. Most Centers offer open lab time where
students can use computers to practice their skills or to work on individual
projects. Some sites also offer participation in computer-user groups and
specialty workshops and conferences on technology-related topics.
A typical
center contains six to ten computers. Some Centers have as many as 15 to 20
computers. Almost all courses are step-by-step, "hands-on" courses with one
student at a computer. The Learning Centers are managed primarily by senior
volunteers, and classes are taught and coached by volunteer instructors. We have
found that peer teaching is effective and rewarding for the older adult
instructors as well as the students.
Learning Centers are housed in a variety of
locations, including senior centers, community centers, public libraries,
schools and colleges, and clinics and hospitals. Learning Centers are locally or
regionally sponsored. Major sponsors include technology companies, telephone
companies, private foundations, health care providers and financial services
companies. Contact a local Learning Center for more information, including their
course schedules and fees.
SeniorNet works with local agencies and sponsors to
establish new Centers. Please see our information on how to establish a
SeniorNet Learning Center in your community.
