This is new to Stroud u3a and therefore please expect it to be experimental. Expressions of interest are invited for this course which may be a single session or a short course of several sessions depending on how it goes/develops. This offering will be refined as time progresses. To make real progress, we will need to limit numbers but we plan to repeat the course regularly so put your name down if interested and we'll offer you a place as soon as available - "first come, first served."
Joining this Stroud u3a course at this early stage means that you will be able to help shape its scope, content and depth.
This course is for those who already have a suitable computer or tablet device (see list) and already know how to do the basics but want to to be able to understand and do more in the areas of:
Internet
Browsing
Logging in to a selection of websites
Options for creating, remembering, saving and managing passwords (and other login methods)
Staying safer online
An introduction to Artificial Intelligence
The course will run at the pace of those taking part. There will be lots of opportunities for question and discussion.
Ideally, you will bring your own device along to the course and use it to try out and practice any skills we are learning together. If you only have a "desktop" (i.e. a non-portable device) you are still welcome to attend the course and may get a little practice on one of our devices but it will not be as do-able for you. At this stage, this course is not for Smartphones - though we may extend in that direction in the future - so watch this space!
The list of devices and operating systems that we will do our best to support on this course will be:
- Apple iPad (iPadOS)
- Apple Mac (MacOS)
- PC (Windows 10 or later)
- Chromebook (Google OS)
- Tablet (Android OS)
- Kindle Fire (Fire OS)
However, please note that the focus of the course is about performing tasks and so we will only be talking about different devices to the extent that we need to do so to achieve the same tasks on the various different devices used by participants.
