In a <u>broader</u> sense (other than course development), these learned skills (from first 2 courses) will '''empower congregation members and Action Group Facilitators to plan, implement, and evaluate/monitor initiatives and projects'''. After taking first 2 courses, members will be able to collaborate using various applications (both from lab and at home) in order to effectively plan, coordinate and "follow-up" church projects and initiatives.
=== Future Goal ===
These courses can be viewed as a '''"test"''' to monitor congregation / public interest in taking computer-related courses at Westminster. Successful attendance and student enrolment would be critical if future fee-based curriculum design and course creation is to be considered.
I do not work for Humber College, but I suspect that delay on building a permanent campus could be linked to insufficient enrolment. In other words, perhaps Humber is not confident that they would recoup their investment in building a campus if the surrounding community is not committed to going to the "Orangeville Campus".
== Targeted Clients ==
Members will be asked to participate (based on availability). Members must agree to commit to the full duration of each course (each course is estimated to last 6 weeks). The purpose for this "commitment" is to allow the members to become familiar with the computer lab in order to maximise its benefits.
Candidates should be informed that '''although free, each course would have an approx value of $70-$80, and a higher value of $250 at a community college level'''(not to mention of the costs and time incurred of developing an effective and customized curriculum for Westminster United Church) . Each student must understand that '''excellent attendance is absolutely essential to not only gain skills, but help out the church to achieve its goals''' by applying skills that are learned in these courses (especially the first 2 courses).
