This paper describes an in-progress two-cycled Action Research investigation of public library-led digital literacy training to older adults in social housing. Prior to the first cycle, the digital literacy needs and training preferences of CityHousing Hamilton (CHH) older adults were identified. These findings were then used to design and evaluate an Android tablet training program delivered by Hamilton Public Library (HPL) to CHH older adults onsite at their CHH place of residence (Cycle One). Findings from Cycle One were then used to design and implement another iteration of onsite HPL-led tablet training to CHH seniors (Cycle Two).
Des formations de littératie numérique pour les personnes âgées vivant dans des logements sociaux dirigées par les bibliothèques publiques
Résumé
Cet article décrit une enquête de recherche-action de deux cycles en cours portant sur les formations de littératie numérique données par les bibliothèques publiques pour les personnes âgées vivant dans des logements sociaux. Avant le premier cycle, les besoins en littératie numérique et les préférences de formation ont été identifiées auprès de personnes âgées du CityHousing Hamilton (CHH). Ces résultats ont ensuite été utilisés pour la conceptualisation et l'évaluation d'un programme de formation sur une tablette électronique Android mis en place par la bibliothèque publique d'Hamilton (HPL) pour les personnes âgées du CHH directement à leur endroit de résidence (Premier cycle). Les résultats du premier cycle ont ensuite été utilisés pour conceptualiser et mettre en place une autre itération des formations avec les tablettes électroniques pour les personnes âgées sur place au CHH par la HPL (Second cycle).
