What have we done so far? • 10 classes
• 120 students
• Intro to Computers, Word, Library Catalog
• Class Evaluations
• Pre-tests/Post-Tests
And? “More classes please!”
“Very helpful!”
“Instructor was so patient!”
“It’s so nice to be in a roomful
of other people like me!”
“I learned something new!”
“Enjoyed – inspired to continue”
Pre/post-tests and class evaluations indicate over 90% improvement and satisfaction.
