Computer Loan Scheme
Prompted by the Covid crisis, FRED acquired a number of laptops which can be lent to Learners who do not have their own devices for accessing the internet. This enables them to take full advantage of remote coaching. The laptops are set up specifically for FRED coaching, but in the process Learners also gain experience in using a laptop and accessing online resources.
The initial purpose is to enable coaches to offer the Turning Pages reading programme online as an alternative to in person. At the simplest level this enables coaches to show their learners things on screen in a similar way to how they can show their learners things in a 1 to 1 meeting in person.
