Computers

The Aurora Seniors Computer Group is focused on helping members use their computers. We have regular meetings open to all members at 10:00 am each Tuesday where we present a program of computer instruction. We frequently invite outside presenters to address specific technical and equipment topics. We also hold a Tuesday afternoon drop-in to provide personalized help when required. Computers may be desktops, laptops or tablets (iPad or Android), Windows OS or Mac OS.

Unless a presentation, workshop or teaching session is scheduled in the Computer Room, the computers are available for individual use by ASA members during the hours when the Centre is open. In practice, we try to keep Friday available for personal use.

See our calendar for scheduled days and times.

Computer Instruction

Instruction Sessions require a minimum of 3 participants. Please register in advance of the selected course as space may be limited.

Registration and payment for Computer Instruction is done in the Computer Room on Tuesday afternoon from 1:30 to 3:30pm. You can also register at the close of the regular Computer Club Meeting on Tuesday morning. Course Instructors may also arrange registration in a course at the end of a class period. Registration cannot be done at the Reception Desk.

You are not registered in a course until your name has been recorded for that specific course and payment has been made. Staff at Reception may not know the enrolment status of a particular course.
