Modelling the digital learning environment of older adults with peer support: A factorial approach
Introduction The ageing of contemporary societies requires the implementation of digital literacy programmes that help reduce the digital divide among older adults. One feasible and sustainable strategy is peer-supported digital literacy. However, despite growing evidence of its practical value, little is known about the underlying structure of the learning environment created by trained older volunteers. This study examined (a) the factors shapi…
Contextualizing digital literacy for older adults: A study based on focus groups and guiding theory
The challenge of digital inclusion for an older adult population raises a need to design digital literacy strategies that are both engaging and effective in facilitating older adults’ adaptation to today’s technological world. For this purpose, it is necessary to establish the bases that will serve as a reference to contextualize the training initiatives. This qualitative study, guided by Selective Socioemotional Theory (SST) and the Selection, O…
The digital inclusion of older people in Spain: Technological support services for seniors as predictor
While life expectancy increases in developed countries and there is evidence that demonstrates the potential of the internet to optimise or compensate for the losses associated with ageing, there is a high proportion of older people who continue to be disconnected from the digital world. In this scenario, the technological support offered by public institutions has the potential to be an accessible source for the digital literacy of older people.…
Factors explaining students’ engagement and self-reported outcomes in a project-based learning case
Project-based learning (PBL) has been a methodology traditionally associated with student engagement and good results. However, not all experiences are sufficiently satisfactory. Comprehensive models that explain the success or failure of these experiences are still lacking. The objective of this study was to understand the mechanisms that explain student engagement and other satisfactory educational results of PBL. During two academic years, the…
From Internet access to problematic use: Multigroup analysis of push and pull factors
Frequency of Internet use is usually emphasised, in systematic reviews and meta-analyses, as a risk factor in problematic Internet use (PIU). Likewise, studies that focus on the analysis of online activities associated to PIU offer confounding results, although they coincide in pointing out the relevance of motivations associated to online activities. The Internet Addiction Model (IAM) offers a comprehensive focus of the influence of Internet act…
Validating the Gratifications Associated with the Use of the Smartphone and the Internet by University Students in Chile, Ecuador and Spain
The pervasiveness of the smartphone and the Internet among young university students can cause both benefits and problematic behaviour mediated by the motivations of the users. This study, using the Uses and Gratifications (U&G) approach and through a quota sampling of university students in Chile (n = 350), Ecuador (n = 350) and Spain (n = 350), sought to identify the gratifications that obtain when using smartphones to access the Internet. The …
Determination of Internet appropriation by older people through technological support services
While social support—friends, family, and colleagues—is one of the main sources of encouragement and digital literacy for older people, there is evidence that suggests that they may prefer formal sources of support. This study aims to verify the capacity of technological support services to promote literacy and Internet use by older people in multiple contexts. The participants ( N = 560) were retired adults (over 54) residing in Spain and habitu…

The capacity of elderly citizens to access digital media in Andalusia (Spain)
In most of the European Union (EU) countries, including Spain, there has been an increase in the number of inhabitants aged 55 years or older. As of 2014, in the EU (27) more than 65% of the population uses the internet daily. However, among the elderly, the percentage is drastically lower. This type of occurrence is found in technologically advanced societies, and turns the older citizens into a forgotten collective. With the digital divide (def…
Media competence in adult citizens in Andalusia, Spain
Videogames, televisions, and computers in all their forms, and smartphones, are everywhere to the extent that the time spent in front of a screen by all sectors of society now takes up most of the leisure time of the citizens of all four corners of the world. Yet in the face of this barrage of media, citizens have developed few formative experiences for acquiring these audiovisual and media languages or for increasing their audiovisual and media …
Drog@ project: Virtual learning communities
This paper describes the contributions developed by a Spanish-Portuguese Research Project called “Drog@” which tries to promote drugs prevention at University. The project uses virtual teaching-learning tools including Internet to make information and communication easier to students. En este trabajo se describen las intervenciones desarrolladas por un proyecto de investigación hispano-luso denominado Drog@ y que ha consistido en promover en el á…
