Abstract

Responding to the increasing need for all citizens to be digitally literate, our research group has led a program for six years that addresses older adults’ questions about digital devices and applications. Our patrons confront a range of socio-technical barriers as they adopt new technology and explore the digital world, and our tutors have developed particular practices to identify and overcome these barriers. Using a cognitive task analysis methodology, we conducted semi-structured interviews with experienced tutors. From these, we derived a set of effective and replicable practices that can form the basis for similar programs elsewhere.
