Internet Training Workbooks
Vicnet's Internet workbooks are written in Easy English, using simple language and illustrations to introduce new concepts and skills.
The workbooks are designed to be used with the support of a trainer. They are particularly suitable for training people with a disability, seniors, people from non-English speaking backgrounds, and people with low literacy levels.
