SeniorNet launches virtual campus on tech for seniors

There is a large segment of the adult population, those above 50, who for different reasons cannot or will not attend classes in a classroom. With this new offering from SeniorNet, a nonprofit organization, seniors who are homebound or have limited mobility now have the opportunity to access 200 online courses on computer skills at affordable prices.

The SeniorNet Online Learning Center is an addition brought forth by feedback from prospective and existing members. The new offering is expected to push ahead SeniorNet’s mission which is to provide older adults education for and acces to computer technologies to enhance their lives and enable them to share their knowledge and wisdom.

Mimi Witcher, a tech savvy senior instructor and former Teacher of the Year at Richland College in Dallas, TX designed the curriculum. It is a virtual campus, available at any time of the day, divided into three sections.
