Term 2 Computer Classes

Published on , updated on
Category: Email Updates. Tagged: .

Computer classes for term 2 are now available for enrolment. All computer classes will continue to be held on Zoom, which we’re finding works well. Everyone is in the front row on Zoom!

Zoom links for the class are sent to accepted members close to the start of the class and no later than the day before. This way they’re not so easily lost in your email history.

Need help with Zoom? Our Zoom Resources page has guides you can download. Or let the office know you need help and our support people will be in touch.

New for term 2

  • LibreOffice – a free (open source) and powerful office suite used by millions of people around the world. It has a clean and intuitive interface with many feature-rich tools, making it both a powerful and easy to use alternative to Microsoft Office. 
  • Question and Answers – weekly sessions attempting to answer your questions about issues with your Windows computer and its software, iPhones and iPads. Enrolment doesn’t commit you to attending each week – there will be a noticeboard where the topics planned for each session can be viewed. You can pick and choose as you like.
