Hi,
Carroll Center for the Blind Hosts On-Line Classes

The Carroll Center for the Blind, located in Newton Massachusetts, is 
pleased to offer our on-line training service, Carroll Tech.  An expansion 
of its well-respected Computer Training Services program, Carroll Tech 
offers on-line classes in the use of popular applications with either the 
screen readers, JAWS or Window Eyes or the screen magnification programs, 
ZoomText or Magic. There are over 20 classes currently offered.  Students 
can take courses self-paced or within a 6-week timeframe with a live 
instructor. All lessons consist of on-line manuals, streamed videos, emailed 
exercises, auto-graded quizzes and audio chat sessions.

Offered at the introductory, intermediate and advanced level, classes cover 
the use of the Microsoft Office applications, Outlook, PowerPoint, Access 
and Excel. Classes are also offered for professionals in Duxbury, TGD Pro, 
Using Windows without the Mouse, Accessible Graphing Calculator and 
Scientific Notebook.

To take one of the Carroll Tech classes, the prospective student needs to 
first pass a pre-qualifying quiz to assure that they have the necessary word 
processing, web browsing, emailing and file management skills necessary to 
successfully complete the course work.  In addition, students are required 
to demonstrate that the computer system where they intend to do most of 
their work is capable of accessing the course content including accessing 
streamed videos, audio chat sessions and on-line quizzes.

Thanks to the generosity of the Gibney Family Foundation, Lions Club 
International and the Boston Foundation, the current cost to take each 
six-week class is only $100.00 and is payable through PayPal, by personal 
check, credit card or purchase order.

For additional information, to take the pre-qualifying quiz or to suggest 
additional topics for future classes, log on to Carroll Tech at 
www.carrolltech.org.  Please take the time to "Become A Member" of the site 
and help us make Carroll Tech the way smart people learn to use their PC 
effectively as a blind or visually impaired person or professional in the 
field of blindness.
