Summary

"Older people, new needs, and possible solutions: A pilot study on peer-to-peer digital education" aims to create a digital literacy protocol targeted specifically to older people, providing them with the digital skills needed to age healthily and actively in a changing social context. Specifically, the main goal is to pilot (by designing, implementing, and evaluating) a peer-to-peer digital literacy course, whereby older educators teach less digitally savvy older people how to use smartphone daily utility apps, such as e-Gov, home banking, etc.

To evaluate the effect of the intervention on participants, smartphone usage patterns are measured before, during, and after the course. Then, the impact of the course on participants' perception of well-being is assessed as well.
