Hello Tony,
Since my last e-mail regarding the ECDL course that I undertook in FAS,
Limerick, I forgot to mention how I pursued this. Anyway, I did my training
with Jaws through NCBI, Limerick, then it was suggested would I like to try a
ECDL course with FAS, although nobody did it at that stage. Therefore, met the
supervisors in Multi Media and from there we worked together to set up a
accesible way of working with Jaws. Then realising there was difficulties at
the beginning because I was the only one that did know about Jaws in FAS, the
way it worked for me was that I got test papers, firstly started with word
andthe test paper each time were very similiar and from there the supervisors
and I worked together, for example anything I was not sure of regarding word,
excel etc i worked out about 95% , although knowing about the computer before
my vision impairment meant alot
I have been listening to the e-mails, from the list and I believe their
suggestions would give you a opportunity to pursue the ECDL, and working with
this list has given more understanding of Jaws. I would hope that FAS would
enforce this mmore, and I am in contact with FAS in Limerick and hopefully this
will be a continual opportunity for blind people to access.
Kind regards,
Eleanor McLoughlin
