dc.description.abstractEach year 351,000 people become senior citizens (U.S. Census Bureau, 2004). As families disperse geographically, there is a need for older adults to learn to use technology as a communication tool to remain connected to family. This study examines age-related barriers that hinder learning and identifies strategies and design considerations best suited to the elderly. Guidelines, grounded in andragogy (Knowles, in Bean, 2003) are provided to assist instructors who teach the elderly in face-to-face environments.en
