User Centre

The User Centre

The Dundee AAC Research Group works closely with users so they can have a true impact on research and implementation. We are the proud host of the User Centre, where a number of user groups meet regularly here in Computing. Three special user groups are currently associated with the User Centre. These user groups work with DAAC in research and teaching.

Tap & Talk Aphasia iPad Group

Bytes and Blether – Over 50’s Computer and Coffee Club

Bytes and Blether (formerly the User Group or the Drop-in Centre) was established in 2005 when Computing moved into its new home, the Queen Mother Building. A dedicated space on the ground floor was part of the design of our new building to enable user groups, like Bytes and Blether, to meet regular in a space that supports the collaboration of user groups, teaching and research in Computing at Dundee University.

You can find out more on the Bytes and Blether Facebook page with contact details on meeting times: facebook.com/Bytes.and.Blether (no Facebook account needed to see this page).
