Upcoming User Group Meetings
SBCC User Group meetings are open to all SaddleBrooke residents, whether you are a club member or not. The January meeting will be of special interest to all, as Orbitel’s Bryan Johnson will update us on new Internet connectivity options here in SaddleBrooke. This meeting will be held in MountainView Ballroom West at 1:00 p.m. on Monday, January 25.
All User Group meetings are held on Mondays from 1:00-2:30 p.m. in the MountainView West Ballroom. A prize drawing is held at the end of each meeting. Future dates and speakers will be announced in this publication as details become available.

Saddlebrooke Computer Club “elearn” Opens
Last spring I announced that the SaddleBrooke Computer Club was launching a project to put selected classes online. I offered a sneak preview into this project by providing access to the first of these classes (computer security) in prior SaddleBrooke Progress issues.
While our development efforts are still ongoing, we now have a few classes and even a User Group presentation replay available to club members on our website’s new “eLEARN” Center. The active online presentations include:
Computer Security
Setting Up a Google Account for Gmail
Should I Move to Windows 10 (User Group replay)
Photoshop Elements A (select lessons only)
You’ll find some icons for other classes in the eLearn Center that are not active yet, but they will be populated as development efforts continue.
More online classes are planned for our eLearn Center. We’ll keep you informed as additional classes and presentations are added. This new e-Learn Center is an additional benefit for SBCC Members. Our live, instructor-led classes, will remain the primary venue for SBCC educational opportunities.
Computer Club Members can access the eLearn Center by going to our Website at saddlebrookecc.org, hovering over the Enrollment link and clicking “eLearn.” When you select a class, you will need your usual member sign-in credentials to access the class.
