Linda Clark has run workshops and created learning materials designed to pass on knowledge of computing in clear, concise and simple language throughout her career. Linda’s fascination for computers started around 1985 when she was training to become a college lecturer. She has taught computing skills to many students in further education and, more recently, to librarians throughout the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. On retirement, she joined Inverness & Black Isle U3A and formed two computing groups. In July 2007, Linda joined a steering group determined to set up a virtual U3A based entirely on the Internet. Now fully operational, this proved to be an exciting and stimulating challenge. She professes to be a computer user not an IT specialist and believes that she is learning something new every day. Her philosophy is 'if I can do it so can you'.
