  1. Online Teaching for Non-Tech-Savvy Adults

  2. Goals Reach the goal of current online knowledge and desired knowledge to meet the basic technical educational needs of the students. • E-Learning to support new forms of teaching and learning • Improve initiatives in connecting a learner’s needs to determine their knowledge and skill level of computer systems and programs

  3. Examples of Computer Guidance • Delivery formats: internet, satellite TV, CD-ROM, intranet, audio or video tape, blogs Can be self paced or instructor led • Media provided: virtual web-based learning, education opportunities and digital collaboration

  4. Searching the Internet • Easy to follow steps that are well organized and demonstrate a clear connection to the learner’s current work skills Search engines: Yahoo, Google, Bing, Altavista, Ask.com, Lycos, Dogpile…etc.

  5. Learning Benefits Basic instruction and procedures for learners to utilize and upgrade their computer skills Allow the instructor the option to modify and improve the training module Enhance and refocus the end user training / computer skill set

  6. Students Needs The Instructor wills the ability to reintroduce the module after minor or major updates to basic programs and new technology. Advantage for adults to be in a class composed entirely of other peers, and not feel intimidated in front of younger and more computer fluent students (Morris 1992).
