It is also the place for those who want to learn more about a specific computer application program. Southern Tier Senior Net can help you get answers about problems you are having with your own computer hardware or software. Currently, Southern Tier Senior Net has two Learning Centers with Personal Computers, Printers, and Document Scanners, and a variety of Application Programs. Southern Tier Senior Net joined with the SEPP Management Company in a joint partnership to develop and furnish the Marian Center. Equipment in both facilities provides for classes in a variety of computer applications.
Classes are typically two hours per week, for an eight-week course.
Staffed by volunteer Instructors and Coaches, the Learning Centers provide students with individual attention in the course material as needed. Typical courses include Introduction to Computers, Word Processing, DataBases, and SpreadSheets. These are based on Microsoft Works, running under the Windows Operating System. Other courses include Financial Management using Quicken and Microsoft Money, Seniors On-Line using Time Warner's Roadrunner Internet Service, Graphics, and Genealogy. Southern Tier Senior Net also invites you to volunteer to be an Instructor or Coach.
