Resumo(s)
This study presents itself as an opportunity to encourage a more effective participation of senior individuals in the digital society, through the use of touch-based mobile devices. Infoexclusion is a crucial issue across Europe, pressing the creation of initiatives that help the elderly interact with digital technologies and understand their benefits. Several studies refer that seniors show greater disposition to use touch-based mobile devices (smartphones and tablets), when compared to traditional computers, due to their distinct features. In this research, we study the appropriation of touch-based mobile devices (namely, tablets and smartphones) by seniors in different learning settings, in the areas of communication and socialization, health and well-being, in tasks related with acquiring goods and services online. This was the basis for the design of a training model prototype that can answer to their interests, needs and learning.
