“…Basically, the definitions take a holistic, multidimensional view of digital literacy. Blažič and Blažič (2018 + 2020) and Grynova et al (2020) refer to the technical, cognitive, and social-emotional dimensions of the concept of digital literacy [ 9 , 10 , 35 ]. Grynova et al (2020) define digital literacy as “the ability of a person to perform specific activities and use digital technologies, namely: the ability to use, access, filter, evaluate, create, programme and exchange digital content; the ability to communicate, solve problems on the Internet, protect information, personal data, and use digital devices” [ 35 ] (p. 113).…”

The digital transformation of healthcare and nursing is becoming increasingly important due to demographic change and the growing shortage of skilled workers. In order to ensure the participation of senior citizens in digital assistive technologies, educational concepts and support services are needed to promote digital skills in older adults. Therefore, the specific needs and prerequisites of this target group have to be taken into consideration. This paper asks how educational programs for the support of digital competences of older adults are designed and implemented. A scoping review was conducted to systematically extract existing findings from the literature. Four databases (Cinahl, PubMed, Web of Science Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), ERIC) were searched using an exploratory strategy to identify studies that address educational concepts promoting digital competences for older adults. A total of 47 publications were included in the qualitative analysis and show a variety of strategies to deal with the promotion of digital competences for elderly people. In conclusion, programs dealing with the promotion of digital competences for elderly people should be flexibly adapted to the target group with its specific needs and challenges such as fears, lack of previous experience, or physical limitations. For successful implementation, social support is of outstanding importance.

“…However, they face the obstacle of using technology and following radical technological advances (Yoo, 2020). To develop skills that support the learning of older adults to use information technology, problem-based learning should be used as well as studying their needs regarding information technology, as well as providing advice and promoting collaborative learning, because problem-solving techniques are important for increasing the quality of life of older adults in the modern world (Grynova et al, 2020). Knowles (1980) pointed out the learning of adults is different from other ages by definition the Andragogy term, is the art and science that support adults to learn.…”

This research aimed to develop learning activities in drawing and painting to promote mental health among older adults and to study the results and the satisfaction of the older adults towards learning activities in drawing and painting. The qualitative and quantitative research methods were conducted. The samples consisted of 200 older people, who were members of the senior citizens school in the community, as well as 12 school administrators and related staff who were involved with the activities designed. Quantitative data were analyzed using frequency and percentage, and qualitative data were analyzed by using content analysis. The findings revealed that the process of designing learning activities included three main activities: 1) preparing before learning through hand massage; 2) drawing by using exercise sheets and 3) painting or coloring on designed sheets. The observation results showed most of the older adults showed confidence in drawing and painting, and most of them had fun during drawing and painting activities. The older adults were satisfied with the overall program at the highest level (97%). The experience of learning from the activities indicated that they were happy with the designed learning activities. The outcomes of the designed learning activities support the older adults in terms of potential, value awareness, and self-efficacy.

“…Usually, the mentor's task is voluntary, and in two of the articles, it is part of the curricular units for university students. A total of 69 students in the first year of the master's program for teachers in training enrolled in the optional special course focusing on adult education [62], and 18 graduate students in their 20 years old in the Department of Communication and Media Studies chose the intergenerational course as a junior-level, elective course in their main program [69]. The other two studies were composed of 8 educators of older adults (at an activity center, a public library, a nursing home, an non-governmental organization (NGO), and a University of the Third Age) [70] and 5 ICT Teachers at a senior university [68].…”

“…In one of the publications [62], a self-assessment was requested before and after mentoring, about their skills in collaboration, mentoring, and research. Previously, 93% of young people confessed to having difficulty in communicating with seniors, although 95% claimed to have been previously involved in teaching older people how to use digital technologies.…”

An aging population and a digital society are realities. There is a need to equip older people with knowledge and computer skills so that they can participate in society, without feeling excluded or being marginalized. Third age universities are organizations around the world that specialize in teaching and learning for senior students in a more informal and more integrated way than other educational institutions. The objective of this study was to identify the existing quality publications that deal with the subject of computer education at senior universities. The SCOPUS and Web of Science databases were used, and 18 records were found according to the adopted criteria. It was found that these articles, depending on their focus, can be divided into four groups: educators, organizations/directors, students, and conceptual/review papers. Through these articles, it was possible to draw a picture of what older people’s computer learning is like, what barriers exist for students to not be able to attend these classes, as well as tips on how courses should be organized and the pedagogical methodologies that must be adopted. It is intended that this article is used as a good tool for people who work in teaching information technology to the elderly, and especially for course directors who intend to create or reformulate courses of this type for this specific age group.
