My organisation `Volunteers for the Blind Foundation` has been
involved with computer literacy programmes for the blind since the
past 12 yrs.
That's a news.
Can we have more details about this organization's modules? Where is the
office located? How many trainees have you on board right now? How many has
the organization already trained?
Regards

Dear Vidya Lakshmi,
My organisation `Volunteers for the Blind Foundation` has been
involved with computer literacy programmes for the blind since the
past 12 yrs.
We have developed two modules for teaching basic computer
skills. One, is executed 6 hours a day for three months, six days a
week & the other for 2 hours per day for five months, six days a week.
So why should you have 6-8 months? Further, we developed multiple
tests during these modules. Tests, as you are aware, are crucial for
assimilation of knowlege. Further, our criteria is - a working
knowlege of English, typing speed of 25 words per minute & have passed
std 6. We have easily handled students with a rural background & most
students had been motivated enough to brush aside the difficulties of
hearing an american accent while they could barely speak the language.
The course content includes office management skills. The results have
been very encouraging.
Your prerequisites are tougher & the course longer. Would you
like to review these requirements ? Could you also please send your
postal address?
with best wishes
yours sincerely
Col P Kapoor
General Secy.
