Unfortunately, for this summer, we're focusing on Windows XP Professional. It
is my hope that we can move to Vista next summer.----- Original Message -----

What operating system are you focusing on? XP? Vista? Hopefully someone
will come up with some training materials for Vista soon because it's here.
We've done some training with our trainers in Texas in the rehab agency but I
haven't heard of anything for the general blind public.

Dakota State University in Madison, SD, is offering CSC-105, "Introduction
to Computers," specifically for blind and visually impaired students from June
18-29, 2006. This course will feature a general introduction to computers
and a general introduction to the Microsoft Office Suite. It provides an
overview
of computer functions with emphasis on word processing, spreadsheets and
database software packages. Students will learn to use keyboard shortcuts
necessary
for successful and efficient operation of the computer by blind and
visually impaired computer users, as the course is designed with screen reader
users
in mind.
All students will learn to utilize keyboard commands that will enable them
to effectively utilize the computer in a world often using
mouse-oriented language and concepts. All students will be using a screen
reader.
I am instructing this course and would be happy to answer any questions
anyone may have about lodging, costs, etc. Please feel free to contact me by
email or by phone.
