Connect Seniors to the Digital World

Seniors@DigiWorld

Welcome to the online course!

Today, Digital Media is essential for communication and participation in society. Although senior citizens could benefit from digital opportunities, they are the population group which is often not yet online. But it could be that simple: two important elements have proven themselves to make it easier for seniors to enter the digital world: tablet PCs and contact persons.

We are therefore particularly pleased to be able to offer this online course and to welcome you here. This course will show you, as multipliers, how to facilitate the use and benefits of the tablet PC to older people. You will learn how to use the tablet and its applications and how to pass on your knowledge to the target group. 

The course can also be used as an extension to a qualification for multipliers. Trainers of multipliers will be shown how to integrate the learning materials in a qualification with a blended learning approach.

Backgroud of the course:

The online course was developed as part of the project "Connect Seniors to the Digital World" (acronym: Seniors@DigiWorld) and was accompanied by trainers in a blended learning course, i.e. with additional face-to-face training. Development and piloting took place in four countries in parallel: Romania, Lithuania, Spain and Germany. The feedback we received from the course participants has been used to adjust the course.
