OLLI at SOU NEWSFLASH
August 10, 2020
Member-to-Member Remote Tech Support
Member-to-member tech support is again available thanks to OLLI volunteers. We know many members are learning to connect remotely to take OLLI courses or to meet up with friends and family online while we stay safe and save lives at home. Some of OLLI’s tech savvy members have volunteered to provide some tech support to help members get connected. If you would like help with getting up to speed online, click here to submit a request for tech support. and we will connect you with a Tech Support volunteer.
 
Please note: While volunteers will offer support to the best of their ability remotely, we cannot guarantee that every issue will be solved successfully. Please keep in mind that this process can require time and patience, too.

Get Ready to Zoom!

Want to be ready for Fall 2020 OLLI Zoom classes AND help OLLI instructors become better at using Zoom skills? Become an OLLI Zoom Practice Partner (ZPP)! It’s easy! Here’s how:

  • Watch for weekly OLLI Newsflashes advertising for ZPP volunteers from early-August through early-September.
  • Newsflashes will include the OLLI instructor’s name, email address, the date, time and approximate length of the Zoom practice session, and the number of Zoom Practice Partners needed.
  • If you are interested and available to be a Zoom Practice Partner, click on the instructor’s email listed in the Newsflash and let the instructor know you’d like to be a ZPP.
  • The Zoom invitation link for that session will be emailed to you directly by the OLLI instructor.
