Notes for tutors
U Can Do IT provides tuition in JAWS for any tutor who wants to teach the package. The following links are useful to anyone learning JAWS:
- A PDF tutorial for JAWS. It's pretty out of date, but gets the basics down really well.
- A list of Windows XP keyboard shortcuts
- A list of Internet Explorer keyboard shortcuts
- A list of Outlook Express keyboard shortcuts
- This list doesn't seem to include the shortcuts for creating a new folder or moving a message to a folder. These are Ctrl+Shift+E and Ctrl+Shift+V, respectively.]
