“…The programs should be flexibly adapted to the target group with its specific needs-as shown in examples by Ferreira et [45,48,55]. Some studies, therefore, applied co-creative or participatory development approaches to tailor these programs to the needs of the target groups and lower barriers [11,13,27,29,47,49].…”

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.

“…There were 4 sessions: 2 for the creation of the questions, 1 in-situ activity in which participants explored the route with smartphones and answered the questions that popped up on their smartphone when they were close to the location, and 1 debriefing session in which the results were discussed by the participants. A detailed description of the activity and some its learning related results was reported in [31]. We highlight here some aspects, which, over time, pointed at new urban scenarios and possibilities.…”

Despite the widespread popularity of smart cities in policy and research fields, and the ever-increasing ageing population in urban areas, ageing issues have seldom been addressed in depth in smart city programs. The main focus has hitherto been on making physical environments 'older people friendly'. We review studies in environmental gerontology, policies and HCI that show the multifaceted relationship between ageing and cities. We discuss two case studies with scenarios of engagement of older people in urban areas we undertook in the past 4 years. By drawing upon the results, we propose a vision of smart city that conceives of older people as embedded in intergenerational urban communities and capable of creating new engagement situations by reconfiguring IT-driven scenarios to their interests and social practices. This paper aims at expanding the current visions of smart cities for older people by building along three main dimensions: technology, agency and community.

“…• Engagement is observed in adults at lifelong learning settings, who in spite of being unfamiliar with m-learning technology, they took a literature course where users created routes of geolocation questions about a fiction book they were reading and answered them in real locations [129]. Outcomes show that adult's m-learning acceptance improved as their anxiety around use of technologies diminished.…”

This chapter tailors a perspective of the work fulfilled in three learning research lines, which besides holding many common attributes also tend to converge to shape mobile, ubiquitous, and pervasive sceneries. Such a junction pursues to spread the traditional classroom and distance settings to open environments, as well as use the surrounding physical and digital objects as learning content that is available to learners at anytime, anywhere, and in any way. In sum, a complete learning environment is recreated to provide formal and informal learning to support academic studies, professional training, and lifelong learning. Thus, in this chapter a description of the mobile, ubiquitous, and pervasive learning (MUP-Learning) arena is presented through the selection of a sample of recent and transcendent works that offer from a conceptual contribution, such as models and frameworks, even empirical approaches oriented to specific domains of study. The sample of works is characterized according to a proposed pattern, as well as organized according to a suggested taxonomy. A profile to describe each work is also stated and a series of statistics are presented, as well as an analysis of the arena is provided to understand the potential and challenges related to the MUP-Learning field.
