A wide range of free classes are available for older Wyoming adults through the Wyoming Department of Health’s ongoing partnership with a robust online learning service. Department of Health Community Living Section Manager Jeff Clark described the “GetSetUp” digital education site as an overall opportunity for older adults to increase activity, boost wellness and spark their creativity by learning new things.Wyoming residents have participated in nearly 20,000 classes since the education site became available in the state roughly three years ago. Beyond popular fitness classes such as “indoor walking workout,” available subjects range from avoiding scams, building computer skills, crafting and cooking to learning about volunteering. Some offerings involve live sessions; others are recorded and available at any time.
GetSetUp’s custom-built video learning interface is available around the clock and has been tailored to older adults of all tech levels. The platform offers support via phone and in all classes to help learners with technology, and includes a booking system complete with regular reminders and after-class notes. Because of the WDH Aging Division partnership with GetSetUp, the classes are free for state residents. To avoid fees, residents should use the coupon code “Wyoming” while booking classes.
