A program co-designed by consumer behaviour academics, older adults and educational/support agencies was developed to scale ways to bridge seniors’ information and communication technologies (ICT) capacity gap, improve users’ online experiences and mitigate perceived risks. The primary output is the development of open-source, scalable impact tools and online resources to improve ICT capacity. The primary outcome is expanded means and use of ICT educational opportunities. The primary impact is an improved policy implementation of ICT education and overall well-being.
