[Trainer-Talk] Announcement of Android training availability

[Raul A. Gallegos (NFB)]

Hello all, please share where appropriate. It's now just one more week 
before the free one-hour Android operating system training session 
hosted by RGA Tech Solutions. Please note that you have to be registered 
to participate and take advantage of the lower-priced training. Also, 
registration will close on Tuesday, March 24. The registration form can 
be found at:

As you have no doubt heard by now, Aira has discontinued the usage of 
the Horizon kit, which consists of a Samsung Galaxy J7 phone controller 
and a pair of smart glasses. By the end of March 2020, the phone 
controllers will have been reset to factory defaults. While these phones 
do not utilize the latest Android version, they can still be used as 
less expensive alternatives. If you've ever been curious about the 
accessibility of the Android operating system, what it does, how can it 
be used, and could it meet your needs, here's your chance to learn a few 
basics.

RGA Tech Solutions is offering a free one-hour training session via the 
Zoom platform. If you don't already have your own Android device, the 
Horizon controller phone will be sufficient to practice with. This phone 
will need to be reset to factory defaults prior to using it as a regular 
Android device. If your controller phone hasn't been reset by the date 
of this session, you can contact Aira to have them help you reset it 
ahead of time. Please note that Aira has stated that they will not be 
providing any technical support or training on the usage of Android 
beyond the initial steps necessary to enable the Android screen reader 
called TalkBack.

This free training session will last for approximately one hour, and 
will only cover the basics of Android. Registered participants will be 
eligible for one-on-one remote training at only $25 per hour if they 
would like to continue to learn the Android operating system beyond this 
free session. This special pricing will only be available through March 
and April 2020.

Event Date: Thursday, March 26, 2020
Event Time: 8PM Eastern, 7PM Central, 6PM Mountain, 5pm Pacific
Event Location: Zoom Conferencing - details provided prior to the meeting

If you have any questions about the registration or about the free 
session, please do not contact Aira, as this is not an Aira-sponsored 
meeting. Instead, contact RGA Tech Solutions at 832-639-4477 or 
training at rgats.com.
