ASCCA supported Adult Learners Week by offering an outstanding free half day seminar as its Members Forum on 3rd September 2012, 10am to 12.30pm, Level 1, 280 Pitt Street, Sydney. It was designed for those thinking about purchasing an iPad or Tablet and for those who wanted to know more about the ‘gadget’ they already had.

Over 100 people saw the seminar speakers demonstrate Apple and Android tablets and eReaders. We also saw a demonstration of Microsoft Windows 8 operating on a tablet. The quality and breadth of the information was exceptional and much appreciated by the audience.
