The Senior Computer Center offers classes on PC and Macintosh computers in beginning computer skills, a variety of software programs and Internet. Introductory courses are taught once or twice a week, in six two-hour sessions; intermediate classes may vary from a single session to 6 weeks. There is an emphasis on hands-on learning, and students are encouraged to use the lab computers outside of class. All courses are taught by volunteers and course offerings vary each quarter depending upon the interests and availability of volunteer instructors. Quarters begin in January, April, July and October.
