“…At a broader level, our results are in accordance with the recent literature of technological acceptance (e.g. Caro et al, 2016;Hauk et al, 2018) revealing that when seniors, like any other segment of the population, are presented with technologies that are beneficial for their way of life, they tend to adopt them more readily (Kok et al, 2012), especially if such technologies will increase the level of their mental well-being (Cotten et al, 2013).…”

“…Anabel et al (2016) focused their study on the activities that motivate digital seniors to engage in the use of the ICT in their daily life. The study revealed that when seniors, like any other segment of the population, are presented with technologies that are beneficial for their way of life, they tend to adopt them more readily (Kok et al, 2012), especially if such technologies will increase the level of their mental well-being (Cotten et al, 2013).…”

“…On the other hand, as aforementioned, seniors nowadays are more interested in using ICT products in their daily lives and are adopting them faster when such products are perceived beneficial to their way of life (Kok et al, 2012;Anabel et al, 2016). We found three main reasons why active senior visitors like these technologies.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to answer fundamental questions on the perceived value of active senior visitors (55+ years old) in the context of cultural heritage sites, when using immersive technologies, conceptualizing technological experience by illustrating an extended space in the pre, during and post phases of visits. Furthermore, it will reveal a better understanding of digital transformation opportunities and risks in the tourism industry and its related sectors regarding active senior travelers and it will further provide some insights and tools that are required to follow. Design/methodology/approach Since the authors are studying a population that is thus far not fluent in the means of digital opportunities, the authors will conduct two semi-structured interviews before and after visits to the museums in order to lower the level of emotional bias responses. Moreover, observations of the participants’ interaction with technological devices will be assessed during their visit. Findings Current findings enrich the theoretical perspective of perceived value. First, they extend our knowledge on the perceived consumers’ value of active senior visitors in the application of immersive technologies pertaining to archeological museums. They also shed new light on the different dimensions of the perceived value (epistemic value, functional value, hedonic value and social value) of active senior visitors concerning museum transformation. Third, they provide an integrative framework for extending the boundaries of the museum technological visit experience, linking the pre-, during-, and post-visit phases. Research limitations/implications Having a longitudinal study that evaluates the same population of seniors over a longer period would enhance our understanding of perception and adoption behavior in non-users. It entails the dimensions that are necessary from a theoretical and managerial point of view, thus contributing to strategic planning for museum managers who are planning on going digital in the coming years aiming at creating further value and satisfaction for their active senior visitors to cultural heritage sites. Originality/value The majority of research concerning technological developments and experiences to date has focused on holistic views studying different stakeholders’ perspectives or on digital natives’ perception regarding museum digital transformation. However, only few studies have evaluated the perceived value of active senior travelers and their overall satisfaction when visiting museums that became digital.

The aging population in China has made the digital divide among the elderly an eye-catching issue for society and academia. This study aims to address how to enhance the digital capabilities of seniors, narrow the intergenerational digital divide, and improve the elderly's adaptation to digital life. With a keen eye on digital feedback, this study explores the mediating effect model of digital feedback on the digital capabilities of the elderly. The empirical results derived from the survey of the rural elderly in China (N = 458) show that: 1.digital feedback, digital access, smartphone usage behavior, and digital capabilities are positively correlated with each other; 2. digital access and smartphone usage behavior play a chain-mediated role between digital feedback and digital capabilities; 3. The digital feedback, digital access, smartphone usage behavior, and digital capabilities of empty nesters in rural areas are lower than those of non-empty nesters. This study makes theoretical contributions to understanding how digital feedback affects the digital capabilities of the elderly.

Cognitive-Based E-Learning Design for Older Adults

et al. 2019

Aging is highly correlated with a decline in cognitive abilities. Information and communication technologies are nowadays increasingly used for knowledge acquisition, education, cognitive development, etc. Older adults should be prepared to adopt these technologies and take advantage of their capabilities. The purpose of this study was to analyze the cognitive profile of older adults in order to identify the ways that they learn, as well as to analyze older adults’ attitudes, to aid in the development of an e-learning platform adapted to their needs. The sample of the study consisted of 103 older adults, aged 55+, from Greece. According to their responses, older adults seemed to prefer e-learning modules that presented the educational content step-by-step and contained practice questions and examples. In addition, respondents had positive attitudes toward the existence of assessment tests for after the completion of each module. Finally, the utilization of explanatory videos and special graphics in the modules was imperative, according to older adults’ preferences.
