How do seniors computer clubs operate?
This is difficult to answer. Most, but not all, clubs have formal computer courses, where seniors have the opportunity for hands-on-learning, generally one to a computer.Clubs differ in how they teach, whether learning is by group (generally 6-10) or one-on-one. Clubs differ in how many hours a session is – one hour, two hour, three hours with a break, and how many weeks a particular course runs. Generally speaking courses are once a week, no more.Some clubs run seminar style presentations with demonstrations by skilled trainers. Some run a mixture of courses and presentations.Clubs which are incorporated associations are run by a management committee, and usually rely completely on volunteers to undertake all their activities. Clubs which are part of a larger group generally have a computer co-ordinator on their management committee, to advise the organisation about the needs of the computer group.
