Digital literacy is a crucial skill set for navigating technology, but low digital skills can prevent older adults from fully participating in today’s digital society, especially due to increased risks from COVID-19.
The ACCESS project created a comprehensive model that highlights how various factors—like societal influences, institutional support, and personal circumstances—affect older adults' ability to learn digital skills.
The findings stress the importance of collaboration among different stakeholders to ensure proper support and communication when helping older adults gain digital literacy.
