Who are we?
SeniorNet is about helping people in the community who are 50+ years of age to learn or enhance their technology skills in a way that is enjoyable and friendly.
SeniorNet Eden-Roskill is a non-profit, voluntary society, which operates independently and is community-based. Established in August 2002, we were the 100th SeniorNet Learning Centre to be established in New Zealand. |
|
|
We have facilities equipped with computers that enable us to provide a wide variety of courses, workshops and tutorials.
We cover Windows PCs (Desktop & Laptop), MACs (Desktop & PowerBook), TABLETs (Android & iPad), and SMARTPHONES (Android & iPhone) ranging from the basics of computing through to unravelling the mysteries of the Internet and beyond. |
|
|
Regular meetings and newsletters provide on-going support and information on our activities and other technology related issues.

How are we different from other training organisations?
Coupled with the age criteria for membership is SeniorNet's philosophy of "peer to peer training". This helps us to have a better understanding of our
students learning needs and culminates in us having:
- Lower student to tutor ratio (1 tutor to 3 students)
- Smaller class numbers (Max 6 students)
- Manuals are written by older people for older people
- Class members and tutors are of a similar age
- Participate as a class not as an individual
- Course material belongs to you
- Social, non-competitive environment
- Access to other club activities and peer support
- All classes are held during the daytime
- Monthly Help Desk sessions to address individual's specific problems
- Special Interest Groups for Digital Photography and Genealogy
- Access to Senior Hangouts with the Federation of New Zealand SeniorNet Societies
