Course objectives
Traditionally, the offer of educational activities for seniors is dominated by humanist-oriented programmes over technically and economically oriented ones. With the development of information technology and the necessity to be aware of it, it is desirable to focus the interest of seniors in this direction. The aim of the course is to teach students how to build a curriculum of various courses for the elderly, to avoid the most common mistakes that are common to existing courses and learn to motivate the elderly to use ICT and the Internet in everyday life. Special attention will be paid to the use of a smartphones with mobile data, the use of computers in everyday life situations, on-line communication and social networks. At the same time, the risks and difficulties arising from working with the Internet will be emphasized.
