Abstract

This thesis discusses development of a training manual with a computer course curriculum for seniors. The curriculum can be used in part of a training manual designed for people who are interested to teach older adults basic computer technology skills at the Dunbar Community Center located in central Little Rock. This project was completed using primarily research articles, books, newspaper reports, and voluntary interviews with people age 60 or older. A letter of consent was given to each participant, and interviews questions were completed using an anonymous assessment questionnaire form. The questionnaire form was used to examine the participant level of computer interest, knowledge, and skills. All of the participants remained anonymous and there were no personal identifying data except for their age was used.
