Senior\u00b4s Learning in the Digital Society (SeLiD)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project Senior\u00b4s Learning in the Digital Society (SeLiD) has been approved as an Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership for the period 1 September 2019 \u2013 31 August 2021. The project is carried out by 8 partners<\/a> from European universities. Comenius University Centre for Continuing Education Bratislava is the coordinator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nmain objectives are open education and innovative practices in a digital\nera, focusing on improving and extending high quality learning opportunities\nfor digital technologies and ICT, tailored to the needs of individual\nlow-skilled or low-qualified adults. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project focuses on elderly students and older\npeople in general to improve and develop their digital skills and knowledge.\nThey need special education and training in many fields for a more flexible\nuse of ICT in their daily life and for an active citizenship. Many of them are\nafraid of digital communication with government agencies, digital and technical\nequipment at home, new ICT programs and work on Internet because of security\nthreats. To make them more flexible in their daily life and in the digital\nsociety they need new experiences and new technical skills. Two main groups of elderly\nget especially involved in the project: the elderly students who will play a\nrole as advisors and the elderly who have hardly used ICT and DT before the\nproject and need encouragement and training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project concentrates on learning and training\nof basic ICT skills and key digital competences of the elderly. Methods that\nwill be applied are: classical teaching, group learning and training, peer learning,\nwork with manuals, excursions to the shops with electronics, collection of good\npractices to develop digital literacy and skills of the elderly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project starts with a survey by questionnaire\nand interviews to make an assessment of the needs of the elderly and where ICT\ncould improve their daily life. It will address the use of a wide range of systems\nsuch as personal computers, smartphones and tablets, digital systems of\nagencies and smart technologies at home and in public. The contact with\ncompanies and shops with electronics will be sought to make them aware of the\nspecial needs of the elderly concerning design, handling and description of ICT\nequipment, systems and manuals. The main impact of the project is on isolated\nelderly, seniors in the communities and senior students of the universities of\nthe third age and senior academies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planned activities are ICT courses, training of the digital skills, excursions to the shops, companies and digital agencies and research of the needs for ICT support, development of digital competences to help the elderly to overcome barriers in their integration into the digital society. The project focuses on many important parts of senior\u00b4s life and their daily digital environment not only at home, in the public transport, in using internet banking, security and flexibility in using smart technologies, digital agency, etc. to become flexible and domesticated in the digital society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planned outcomes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. The survey about the learning possibilities in the partner\u2019s institutions in the subjects of digital technologies and will be inserted into the Review table.<\/strong> The analyses and comparison of the collected data will be discussed in the workshop and prepared for the final evaluation and use by the partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Research about the needs of the elderly, barriers and difficulties in\nthe use of digital technologies and home equipment,<\/strong> about using ICT in\nlearning will be evaluated by quantitative and qualitative analyses and\ncomparison between the partners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Results from the research on\nthe digital education in the institutions and needs of the elderly will be used\nas a basis for the creation of new\ninnovative curricula, training activities and enlargement of the seniors\u00b4\nskills. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Summaries about needs of the elderly and good practices<\/strong> from the partners will help and support the creation of various types of learning methods for learning ICT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Ways and possibilities for encouragement of isolated elderly<\/strong>,\ninfluence, attraction and persuasion to learn in their later life and for their\ndaily life and active citizenship<\/strong>\ncan bring more elderly to be involved in\nthe<\/strong> life of digital society<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Digital education and training will reduce the number of low-skilled\nadults<\/strong> and promote their knowledge and flexible\nlife in the digital society<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Project institutions will\nsupport these areas by spreading\ninformation about learning activities in the groups and communities of the\nelderly<\/strong>, which can encourage them<\/strong>\nin using ICT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. The project will put Strategic Partnership into\npractice<\/strong> with wider possibilities for cooperation and common research and\nevents in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Results gained from the Study<\/strong> and from quantitative analyses will be published in a booklet,<\/strong> on the project website and presented <\/strong>at the international events. At the final conference the final evaluation will take place and the final report will be completed by all partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project partners of the\nproject SeLiD will meet on 5 transnational meetings and workshops at different\nuniversities. They together with tutors, volunteers, senior students and other seniors\ncan explore news of the digital world, digital traps in their daily life,\ninterrelations and lines of development in all their fields of digital\ninterest. The project should promote innovation in seniors\u00b4 life, exchange of\nexperience in the field of digital technologies, ICT and knowhow between\ndifferent types of organisations involved in the education for elderly in a\nEuropean context. It can enrich and enlarge their learning programs with new\nelements and create appropriate methods for the courses in digital technologies\nor for courses in applications of new technologies for learning methods (in\nlanguage courses, financial literacy courses, etc.) and training of the elderly\naccording to their needs for domesticated life in the digital society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
