The cost for the 6-week session of classes is $25.

SeniorNet Membership Fees -- which go to National SeniorNet -- are as follows: 1 year = $40 per person, 2 years = $60 per person , 3 years = $85 per person.

Each class is instructed by a volunteer instructor who is assisted by 1-2 coaches. This ensures that each student receives personalized attention.

Each student has their own computer station at which to work during class. Students can also use the lab during open lab hours to practice between classes.

In addition, each student receives a step-by-step work-along manual which is theirs to keep, plus a diskette with practice exercises.

"What separates SeniorNet from other basic computer courses is its focus on how older adults learn", according to Art Kline, chair of the local Learning Center Council. "Classes are stimulating, fun, and volunteer teachers and coaches make sure every student gets the individual attention they need."
