Learn everything you need to know about your iPad or Tablet
Using an iPad isn't rocket science, but sometimes a little help doesn't go astray!
The advent of tablets has transformed how we use computers and access the internet. While smart devices such as iPads and windows tablets have made computing more accessible to large portions of the population, using one for the first time can still be daunting, particularly for older individuals who are new to multimedia and online communications. But staying in touch with family and friends, accessing online content, and taking and sharing photos isn't rocket science! You can easily overcome your IT inhibitions during a short adult education course specifically designed for you to get the most from your device.
Courses vary somewhat between centres, but you should expect to cover a range of functions and gain confidence in using a range of popular apps. In addition to learning about the physical features of your device, you will be introduced to iTunes/Play Store, syncing files, emails, editing files, making video calls, using the camera and video recording functions, reading books, sharing photos and other media, watching tv and videos, and accessing a range of social media platforms.
