Computer Literacy

Despite the prevalence of computers and mobile devices in modern society, there are still a considerable number of u3a members who lack either the skills or confidence to use computers in anything but their most basic form, and who become quickly confused by the technical terminology often used.

There are a number of organisations which offer free online courses and tutorials on all aspects of computers.
