Abstract

This project established a computer lab with eight work stations and operated a training program in the St John Family Life and Education Center, located in rural Edenton, North Carolina. A qualitative pro-active research methodology was used involving a case study design to develop a comprehensive narrative based on pre-test and post-test surveys, interviews, quantitative demographic data, and field notes. Fourteen members of the congregation were involved, eight registered modest improvements in personal computer skills, two reported substantial increases, and four dropped the training. There is now a computer lab servicing the community with printers, fax and performance oriented training.
