老年教育数字化发展路径探析

Analysis on the digital Development Path of Education for the Elderly

摘要: 老年教育数字化是老年教育的重要发展方向之一。老年教育数字化已取得一定成果，如老年大学教育资源的整合和共享、适合老年人的在线学习平台和应用软件的出现等。同时，也存在问题，如老年人接纳新技术能力较弱，容易遇到操作困难和理解挑战，以及“数字鸿沟”问题等。老年教育数字化的发展路径应包括优化老年数字化课程资源，考虑老年学习者的需求和特点，提供个性化学习内容和充分的社交互动机会；另一方面，应加强社会各界的参与度，包括政府、科技公司、教育机构、志愿者等，共同推动老年教育的数字化。

Abstract: Digitization of education for the aged is one of the important development directions of education for the aged. The digitization of education for the elderly has made some achievements, such as the integration and sharing of educational resources in universities for the elderly, and the emergence of online learning platforms and application software suitable for the elderly. At the same time, there are also problems, such as the elder’s weak ability to accept new technologies, easy to encounter operational difficulties and understanding challenges, and the “digital divide” problem. The development path of digitized education for the elderly should include optimizing the digitized curriculum resources for the elderly, considering the needs and characteristics of the elderly learners, providing personalized learning content and sufficient opportunities for social interaction; On the other hand, we should strengthen the participation of all sectors of society, including the government, technology companies, educational institutions, volunteers, etc., to jointly promote the digitization of elderly education.
