Computación sin Barreras
The ultimate multimedia, self-study computer program
The new Windows Vista Computación sin Barreras® is a self-study
program designed for Spanish-speakers with little to no knowledge of
the world of computing and the Internet; we’ve expanded the course
content from 20 hours of training in the Windows XP version to over 90
hours of training in the Windows Vista version. The program goes over
the basics of computing by telling the story of Ramón Rulfo, a Hispanic
father who decides to surprise his wife and two kids with a brand
new computer. The user experiences Ramón’s discoveries while two
neighbors teach him how to set up and use the new computer so that
he can later show his family the many benefits of having a computer at
home. Computación sin Barreras® is a multimedia course containing
7 DVDs, 7 CDs and 7 manuals.
