<P class=MsoNormal>I have been asked to circulate the following
announcement. I have<BR>studied with this fine group of people for a year,
taking the<BR>CISCO Information Technology Essentials course, the HTML5
and CSS<BR>course and the Audio Editing Fundamentals course. In every
course<BR>the instructors were blind, they knew their stuff and they
cared<BR>about my success! This program, in my opinion, is the next
best<BR>thing to sliced bread for the blind person who wants to
either<BR>further their career with better computer skills, get
basic<BR>computer skills for school and college or simply play
with<BR>computer stuff as a hobby. Follow the links below to learn
more<BR>and check out the program. <BR><BR><BR><BR>Do you know how to use
your Windows or Mac PC and your screen<BR>reader? Are you curious about
the hardware inside of your<BR>computer? Do you want to
sharpen<BR><BR>your troubleshooting and computer maintenance skills? How
about<BR>designing a website or running a Linux server? Perhaps you
would<BR>like to build a computer<BR><BR>or home network of your own.
<BR><BR>The Cisco Academy for the Vision Impaired enables blind
students<BR>to enter the world of computer and Information technology
whether<BR>for career advancement<BR><BR>or to pursue a hobby. We provide
courses tailored for blind and<BR>visually impaired students around the
world. We do this using<BR>live online lectures by blind<BR><BR>and vision
impaired instructors, written lessons, and a community<BR>of students and
instructors to network with even after students<BR>have graduated our
courses.<BR><BR>The academy is currently taking applications for the
first<BR>semester of 2013. We will be offering Computer 101 for Mac
or<BR>Windows, IT Essentials, Intro<BR><BR>to HTML 5 and CSS, Audio
Editing Fundamentals, Discovery 1 with<BR>Exploration 1, and Linux server
administration courses starting<BR>the second week of
February.<BR><BR>Computer 101 is taught as separate courses for Mac and
Windows<BR>users. It teaches basic computer and screen reader
skills<BR>including adjusting screen reader<BR><BR>options, working with
files, chatting online, using email, and<BR>using web pages.<BR><BR>Intro
to HTML 5 and CSS teaches blind people how to design<BR>attractive
business and personal websites including graphics,<BR>audio, and video. It
assumes no<BR><BR>prior knowledge of HTML.<BR><BR>Audio Editing
Fundamentals teaches principles of audio including<BR>how to choose and
place a microphone, single and multi-track<BR>editing using tools
like<BR><BR>Goldwave and Reaper, and adding various effects to audio
tracks.<BR><BR>IT Essentials is an introduction to PC repair including
Hardware,<BR>installing and maintaining an operating system,
Troubleshooting,<BR>portable devices, and<BR><BR>customer service.
<BR><BR>Discovery 1 is focused on home and small business networking.
It<BR>is being combined with our Exploration course to provide
a<BR>thorough background in networking.<BR><BR>Exploration is a more in
depth look at networking, both<BR>theoretical and practical for those
students who wish to really<BR>get into building and
designing<BR><BR>networks. After completing Exploration 1, students will
have the<BR>skills necessary to take the CCENT exam.<BR><BR>The Linux
Administration course introduces server-based Linux<BR>systems
administration for vision impaired users. Students will<BR>learn how to
install and<BR><BR>configure a Ubuntu server system and install and
configure a<BR>number of server based programs such as a web server, Email
and a<BR>wiki. The course aims to<BR><BR>take a student from asking, "what
is Linux?", to installing and<BR>using a Linux-based server system via
SSH.<BR><BR>Each class runs for a total of six months, with online
lectures.<BR>The classes are self-paced so you can finish them in a month,
or<BR>take the entire semester<BR><BR>if desired. The cost for each course
is 500 US dollars however;<BR>scholarships are available to students who
are paying for their<BR>courses out of pocket that<BR><BR>lower the price
to $150. Your eligibility for a scholarship will<BR>be assessed as part of
the application process and payment plans<BR>are available.
Students<BR><BR>are required to have good internet access skills and be
familiar<BR>with their screen reader of choice, or be willing to
teach<BR>themselves the necessary skills<BR><BR>as we go along. Students
in the more advanced courses should be<BR>familiar with reading Adobe PDF
documents, as they may be<BR>encountered while doing
research<BR><BR>projects. Course content is online, so a broadband
internet<BR>connection is highly recommended. Students should also have
a<BR>working headset/microphone and<BR><BR>be willing to install Skype and
Ventrilo, in order to attend<BR>lectures and communicate with instructors.
Applications will be<BR>accepted until February 6,<BR><BR>2013.
