Excellent course that opened my eyes up to easy ( and often free! Tools too help those who are visually impaired. As an OT, who also has visual impairments, I thought I knew most of the “tricks” on iPhone. This course showed me several new features and apps that can help with maintaining as much independence as possible!

Utilization of acronyms that had no definition to understand its meaning….talking over phone voice and could not under either speaker or phone commands, speaker seemed disorganized in her thought process and seemed to jump around making it difficult to understand what she was pertaining to. Good material though and could possibly utilize a course for geriatric phone useage and learning tech?

The instructor did a good job at explaining how to utilize the various apps. It was a little difficult to follow, along with the descriptions of the various settings on the phone, because she would often say something like if you press this button down here, and would not verbally say what the button was. As a Practitioner, who is blind, and I am often instructing those with low vision on how to use these various apps, it was a bit difficult to follow along.

I didn't like the separate video throughout the course. I didn't feel as if they gave a good explanation and were somewhat distracting. The course gave a general overview, but I feel like a longer course with hands on by the participants is needed to fully benefit and understand how to proceed with the use of the apps.
