Centre for Intergenerational Learning
Introduction
This project aims to bring together third level students and older learners in a third level learning environment so as to exchange knowledge and learn from each other. A major learning outcome is to enable the older learners to participate in the knowledge society through acquiring computer skills necessary to access the internet and use in their daily lives. This offers a unique opportunity for both the DCU students and the older learners to adopt the simultaneous role of both tutor and learner and in the process it opens a variety of learning opportunities at third level for both groups of learners to access a diversity of learning opportunities from experiential lived experience and academic learning.
