What do I need to join the course?

A willingness to learn and a positive attitude! You should understand a little bit about the basics of using a Smartphone or Tablet and sending/receiving emails. This course is suitable for if you want to know what more you can do with your emails on your Smartphone or Tablet. If you want to learn about the basics first, you could try out our Smartphones and Tablets: Emails (Step 1) session.

What do I need to provide for the first session?

You might find it useful to bring your own smartphone or tablet along to the session so that we can help you with using your very own device. We do have some tablets available in our centre for you to use if you do not have your own. You might also find it helpful to bring a notebook and pen to make some notes to help with your learning. If you already have an email address, it would be helpful for you to know the email address and password for the account.

Virtual Learning Only: If you are attending virtually, you will need to make sure you have a suitable PC/laptop to allow you to join the virtual group with your tutor. You should also have your smartphone/tablet to hand as you will be using this during the session. If you already have an email address, it would be helpful for you to know the email address and password for the account.
