Virtual Technology Club Thursday 28 September
Join us from 7:00 pm on Thursday September 28th for NCBI's next Virtual
Technology Club meeting.
Our guest speaker for this meeting is Jackie McBrearty from Sligo, who has
been discovering the potential of the Amazon Echo devices over the last few
months.
Jackie will share her experiences of using the Echo, and talk about how it
works and what it can do.
As always, we'll have an open session so that people can ask questions about
any aspect of technology.

Announcing the Launch of NCBI's Fundamentals in Assistive Technology Online
Course
NCBI is excited to be launching its first ever on-line training programme,
entitled 'Fundamentals in Assistive Technology' on Saturday 16th September.
The course, an initiative of NCBI's Technology Specialist Team, is designed
to give a broad overview of assistive technologies used by people with
impaired vision and will run over a three month period. Students will learn
how assistive and mainstream technologies can work together to provide
access to solutions in environments including education, work and leisure.
It will be primarily delivered online alongside two on-site training days
where students will be given a chance to try out much of the technology that
features in the course for themselves.
If you are interested in participating in the next Fundamentals in Assistive
Technology Course please let us know. You can contact Stuart Lawler or JP
Corcoran in NCBI on 018307033.
