‘Motivational factors for older people’s learning on senior citizens’ platforms: a didactical concept

Section: Technology and Knowledge

This report presents the summarised findings of a key deliverable, D3 ‘Motivational factors for older people’s learning on senior citizens’ platforms: a didactical concept’. Desk research was conducted looking at the motivational elements of learning in later life, particularly around ICT and social network platforms. An outline of findings from two participatory workshops is then provided, with a particular focus on the exchange of knowledge between older learners. Finally, the report analyses the results of a survey among operators of 50plus social network platforms to identify the tools used currently and the tools that may be of potential benefit in the future.
