New Online Computer School Designed Specifically for Seniors Launches Virtual Campus

A unique resource for baby boomers and senior citizens.

Carrollton, TX (PRWEB) April 21, 2008

When we picture seniors settling into retirement, we often think of them as "slowing down." We don't typically perceive them as tackling new challenges, enrolling in coursework at the local college, or going online and exploring new worlds.

But that's exactly what they're doing.

And this week marks the launch of Computer School for Seniors, an online campus designed specifically for seniors who wish to explore new interests and learn fresh lessons. From restoring precious photos to computer and internet lesson plans, today's senior can encounter creative ideas and instruction right from the comfort of his or her home computer.

"Research shows that seniors benefit both physically and mentally by continuing to learn throughout their lifetimes," says Mimi Witcher, Senior Instructor of Computer School for Seniors. "A survey by AARP showed that adults over 50 want to stay educationally active, but have different expectations, needs and demands than younger learners. Computer School for Seniors addresses those differences."

Mimi adds that "Excellent computer education programs for seniors are available at some community colleges, but the choices may be limited and there may be issues that can preclude seniors from traveling to a campus to learn in a classroom. That's where the Internet campus comes in."

Computer School for Seniors is an online computer school campus designed specifically for 50+ students who understand that a life well-lived is a life well-learned. Visit http://www.CS4Seniors.com for resources and a campus tour.
