Our Club provides guidance to members who would like to build their confidence online and extend their technical learning.
This 2024 initiative is part of a government sponsored program through Be Connected.
Individual and small group learning can be arranged through contacting our Club’s Tech Helpers – Marilyn Hubbard and Christine Simmons. Most of this assistance is provided through the use of members’ own mobile devices. There are some newly-acquired iPads and Samsung tablets that are available for loan to club members.
The aim of this program is to enhance people’s ability to engage with online services and do this safely.
Be Connected provides the resources for this online learning. There are masses of courses available AND IT IS FREE.
