How are older learners faring in today's digital society? Are they
being excluded or left behind? The author explores this question
and investigates strategies needed to assist older learners who
want to continue learning into their golden years. Canada's
demographics are shifting, with more seniors living longer and
leading more productive lives, notably through their participation
in education. Incorporating adult education theory and practice
with gerontological statistics and literature, the author considers
the situations of older learners, who are faced with both barriers
and opportunities. Technology should not be an obstacle to older
learners; when potential opportunities arise-and with assistance
from family and friends-education can help set older learners on a
fulfilling path that enhances their lives.
