Efficient Seniors’ Training Using Broadband Technologies

Australian Seniors Computer Clubs Association (ASCCA)

Grant Awarded: 2012

Grant Amount: $30,420

As the NBN rolls out, it is estimated that 1.5 million seniors will need training on how best to use and enjoy its benefits. ASCCA, with experience delivering effective training and resources to seniors all over Australia, is uniquely positioned to reach seniors where present programs are restricted by lack of volunteers and the tyranny of distance. ASCCA believes that efficiencies in training can come from adding to existing programs, using Interactive Education techniques delivered across the internet.

In this project, ASCCA examined the training programs offered by its member clubs across Australia. The final report summarised these programs and evaluated the effectiveness of various teaching methodologies for seniors of differing abilities.
