Faculty Computer Phobes Anonymous (FCPA) consisted of a small group of self-selected, computer phobic, faculty. These individuals participated in a learning community to overcome their computer anxiety and improve their computer skills. Through a series of ten workshops over the 2004-2005 academic year, basic computer skills were acquired and fears shattered.
This session will describe the FCPA program, its workshops, how these faculty members’ technophobia and computer skills compared to their peers’, and the results of pre- and post-testing of computer anxiety and basic computer skills of the participants.
