Scope of Project
This module teaches frontline healthcare workers about the disconnect older adults face with digital technology. More specifically, this module primarily aims to educate healthcare assistants and technicians. After completing this learning module on “Older Adult's Literacy Skills”, the participants will better understand the literacy of adults ages 60 and older. The main topics being addressed in this learning module will be health literacy, numeracy, and digital literacy. Throughout this module, the participants will test their knowledge through a scenario question, a drag-and-drop activity, and an assessment at the end. This learning module is made for frontline healthcare workers consisting of adults of all ages, with the majority being in their 20s. Most of these workers, being technicians and assistants, interact with patients who are 60 and older on a daily basis.
