The Electronic Village Hall (EVH) is Peterborough Women's Centre's way of
   providing access to the latest ICT (Information and Communication
   Technologies) to the women of Peterborough to enable them to make
   informed choices about their learning opportunities. We have a well-equipped
   computer suite at the centre and all our computers have Internet access.
   Use of the computers is absolutely free. You can learn about anything you
   want in the Electronic Village Hall, we run several IT courses and there are
   Open Access sessions each week as well as the Saturday Internet Cafe.
   We have a full time ICT Co-ordinator and several volunteers with IT
   experience.

      

   Peterborough Women's Centre has recently launched First Time Online which
   has been developed by learndirect for use in UK Online centres. First Time
   Online is intended to provide an introduction to learndirect and elearning for
   centre users. This is a free experience in which the learner is given the
   opportunity to learn how to use a mouse, tour a computer keyboard, have a
   brief introduction to using the internet and be provided with information on
   further learning. There are taster sessions in 5 zones - Leisure, Web, Money,
   Work and Home Life and each one is interactive and easy to use.

   The Electronic Village Hall is busy on most days with Peterborough College of
   Adult Education providing several courses for us - Computers For The Terrified,
   Driving Theory, Internet and Email Essentials, English on the Computers (ESOL IT)
