Tablet for Senior Course
In today’s digital-centric world, staying connected can pose significant challenges for senior citizens. Recognizing this, together with our partner SEED, we created the Tablet for Senior course in 2019, tailored specifically for older people. This path is centered on the unique needs of Europe’s aging demographic, who are increasingly required to engage with new technologies that influence various aspects of their social lives. The course is structured in two distinct formats:
- A face-to-face version, which includes ten two-hour modules. These sessions are flexible and offered in comprehensive or abbreviated lengths to suit the varying needs of learners. Participants are equipped with foundational skills such as internet navigation, photo taking, and video recording, alongside more complex abilities like trip planning and using customized apps for daily management.
- A virtual learning pathway comprising ten instructional videos. This format supports senior citizens in mastering basic tablet functions necessary for communication. It was specifically developed to assist those in nursing and retirement homes during the periods of isolation caused by the pandemic, helping them keep in touch with the external world and their family and friends.
