Mystic Access is pleased to be able to make this resource available. If
you have a VarioUltra, consider signing up and broadening your knowledge
in the New Year. We have many other exciting things we’ll be sharing, so
we hope you will stay with us, and thank you for reading.
Get the most out of your VarioUltra with this comprehensive six-week
teleseminar from Mystic Access!
Who can participate?
If you have a VarioUltra, or you are thinking of purchasing one, you
will likely find this class to be a valuable resource. However, it will
be especially helpful to those who a lready have a VarioUltra, either 20
or 40 cells. You may attend from any phone by dialing into our
conference system. Can't make a class live, or want to refer back to the
material covered? All calls will be recorded and sent to class
participants as MP3 files.
When is it?
We are offering two class times. The first will take place on Wednesdays
at Noon Eastern Time, and the second will meet on Wednesday nights at
9:00 Eastern Time. This is a six-week series. The first lesson starts
January 18, 2017, and the sixth and final lesson concludes on February
22, 2017. Each class will run approximately 75 minutes (one hour and
fifteen minutes) to provide plenty of time for questions from
participants after each class topic is fully covered. All students who
take the class will receive information on downloading the seminars for
future reference.
Why might I want to take this class?
The VarioUltra functions as both a notetaker and a braille display. Each
task seems to have multiple ways to get it done, and remembering all
possible combinations presents its own challenges. Lisa Salinger has
been using VarioUltra for over a year, and Braille notetakers in general
and other related technology for over twenty-five years. Her patient,
thorough style will help you understand important concepts, and learn
how to commit relevant facts to memory.
What will be covered?
Please find below a tentative course outline. Content may change
slightly as the needs of participants dictate.
Week 1: So Many Buttons!
If you've noticed that the number of keys and buttons on the unit
outnumber your fingers, take heart. We'll take a look at the various
groupin gs of buttons, and give you the foundational overview you need
to make the next few weeks a breeze.
Week 2: Where am I? Finding your way around.
There are many strategies you can use to navigate the options, menus,
and settings on your VarioUltra. We'll show you how to incorporate all
this knowledge and determine what navigation styles work best for you.
We'll also take a look at the file manager, which is used to copy,
rename, and delete files, among other tasks.
Week 3: All about settings, or Eat Your Vegetables!
Before we get into fun and practical aspects of using the VarioUltra in
daily life, we need to talk about doing the dirty work of customizing
the settings to have everything working in the way that's most intuitive
and useful to you. Think of it as putting some cheese sauce on that
broccoli. In other words, we'll do our best to make this necessary
material as fun and useful as possible so that using your VU is
enjoyable and even easy.
Week 4: Reading, Writing, and Rithmetic.
We'll take a look at the programs on the unit, with special attention to
the word processor and calculator.
Week 5: Let's Get Connected!
One of the wonderful things about the VarioUltra is that you can connect
it to multiple devices. We'll discuss the pleasures and pitfalls of
doing this. Whether you want to connect to your iOS or Android, your
Windows or Mac, there will be useful information to help you get and
stay connected.
Week 6: Wrapping Up.
There is so much to cover, it is likely that we will need this week to
finish up. While you can certainly ask questions during the seminar,
this is also a time dedicated to just that.
Each lesson in the teleseminar runs for approximately 75 minutes (an
hour and fifteen minutes), and the cost to enroll is $89.
