Q: I am a teacher of children with special needs. I have no formal training in computers, but I want to learn how to develop educational software. I do not have much money and cannot afford to go back to school full-time. I have looked up online classes but I do not know where to begin or which courses to take. What would I need to study in order to get a job in the field of instructional software?

A: I presume you already have either a bachelor's or master's degree in education. If so, that will help get your foot in the door. If you don't have a college degree at all, it's going to be tough to get into the field, given your lack of computer expertise.

To figure out what kinds of classes or training you need, start by figuring out what kind of instructional software you want to help create. Do you want to do software for kids with special needs, or reading software for elementary school students? Once you've narrowed the field a bit, you can scout the job postings of the companies that make that kind of software. You may find that you have enough training and experience already to get a job helping a company develop the content for the software.
