Empowering Older Adults: Improving Senior Digital Literacy
Yoo, Hyeon Jean
American Association for Adult and Continuing Education, Paper presented at the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education 2020 Conference (Online, Oct 27-30, 2020)
As the world's population is more interconnected by the Internet and mobile devices, older adults are expected to use Internet-based services, such as education, health, finance, and even communication. Despite the recent research that an increasing number of older adults are embracing digital lives, they face unique challenges due to age-related changes. These unique barriers make it difficult for them to keep up with rapid technological advances. This study aims to explain the 7-weeks of an introductory course that was designed for older adults to enhance senior digital literacy. This study highlights the importance of creating a quality learning environment for older adults in leading more productive and enjoyable lives with mobile devices.
