This session will be of interest to volunteer tutors who are working with or preparing to deliver training to seniors in a Broadband for Seniors Kiosk setting.
Ron will lead a practical discussion with those volunteer tutors attending this Elluminate session to provide an opportunity to discuss and learn from each other about the learning principles volunteer tutors are using to engage their learners and how they are providing an environment which aims to build confidence, trust and an enjoyable experience for senior first time computer learners.
