Alexa & Me has been written, by Ron Coleman, as a guide to help those living with dementia, their primary care givers, their family and friends, to both understand and set up the Amazon Alexa Personal Assistant in such a way that it will enhance the autonomy of people living with memory problems, dementia or other cognitive impairments.

The 'Alexa & Me' guide has been adapted into a three easy to follow modules, from understanding how Alexa Devices can help you, to being introducing to the Alexa Family, to choosing which Alexa Devices are best for you, to learning how to set them up in your home and how they can help you most effectively.  All the courses have Workbooks to ensure Alexa meets your personal needs.

In this first part of the course (Module One) you will be learning why Ron wrote 'Alexa & Me' and also hear from Karen, Ron's partner.  You will be using a Workbook to work through how you think Alexa will help you.  You will also be introduced to the Alexa Family, working through different videos and another Workbook in order you to find the Alexa Devices that will work best for you.  

The module consists of a mixture of written learning materials, exercises, videos, Workbooks to download and complete for yourself and a discussion forums to learn from each other.  Once you have completed the Module you will get to download a Course Certificate.

To access this course, you will need to self enrol on the course.  This is really easy, just follow the instructions and provide your name, email address and a password.
