This workshop, organized jointly by the Extension Directorate and the Educational Informatics Center (CIE), seeks for participants to reaffirm the knowledge acquired in previous workshops on knowledge and mastery of digital tools. Professor Eva Toro stated that the idea is to “do a recapitulation of the workshops that we have already worked with adults, that is, introduction to ICT, social networks, connecting to the internet and other smaller workshops, such as my digital album ( …) it was taken as an initiative to make this memory of what we have seen during previous years.”
Likewise, it is intended to cover new knowledge and provide solutions to the doubts and concerns that older adults have about digital concepts. In the first instance, it is vitally important to "remember what has been worked on with them, since the learning rates that each one has are different, and they have not had the option of reinforcing, of having someone to consult this acquired learning", added the academic.
