SeniorLearning
Adapting e-learning techniques for integrating senior citizens
in the new digital World
…it’s never too late to learn!
SeniorLearnig is a project which is financed by the European
Commission under the GRUNDTVIG Lifelong Learning Programme.
The objective of the SeniorLearnig project is to design a
user-centred e-learning system which offers online courses for
enabling users to learn how to use the internet and its services.
The proposed SeniorLearnig system is designed specifically to be
targeted at senior citizens (55+).
It aims to immerse them in the practical use of the internet, thus
involving them in the Information Society and enabling them to
enjoy its many benefits.
This project will deliver such worthwhile results as research into
the needs of senior citizens in terms of the Information Society,
best practice in teaching senior citizens in the practical use of
the Internet, as well as practical e-learning courses (which will
be designed as self-learning tools or trainer support material)
which will enable senior citizens to learn how to use the internet
in a useful, practical and relevant manner, such as by learning to
shop via the internet (e-commerce), to carry out on-line banking
(e-banking), to form virtual learning groups or learning
communities etc.
The overall impact of this project will be to make sure that senior
citizens are not left out of the Information Society and are fully
empowered to enjoy its benefits, which will contribute to improving
their quality of life.
