Older Learners and IT: Challenge for Inclusion.
Stephenson, Maureen
Adults Learning (England), v13 n7 p12-15 Mar 2002
Surveys of 22 older adult neophyte computer users, 15 participants in a Universities of the Third Age computer group, and 69 elderly nonusers, quitters, or computer users determined what motivates older adults to learn about computers and what they find helpful/unhelpful in instruction. Support in the early stages of learning and understanding of adult learning needs were important. (SK)
