| Texte |
Representing the CyberSafety team, Dr Ashley Sheil presented their research at the 2024 ACM Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing (CSCW), held in Costa Rica. Despite the event being set against a backdrop of lush tropical surroundings, the weather was notably wet, but did not dampen the enthusiasm and interest of all who came.
About CSCW
For those unfamiliar, CSCW is a premier international conference that focuses on understanding how technology affects collaboration and interaction in various settings. Researchers, practitioners, and thought leaders gather annually at CSCW to exchange innovative ideas about designing, implementing, and evaluating systems that support cooperative work. This year\'s conference featured a diverse range of topics, from AI and remote collaboration to accessibility and digital inclusion.
Research Highlights: Empowering Older Adults Through Digital Education
The CyberSafety research group funded by Science Federation Ireland, consists of Dr Ashley Sheil, Jacob Camilleri, Moya Cronin, Melanie Gruben and is led by Dr Hazel Murray and co-led by Dr Michelle O Keeffe. The work also involved collaborative input from Dr Sanchari Das of Denver University. The paper, titled \'It\'s Like Not Being Able to Read and Write\': Narrowing the Digital Divide for Older Adults and Leveraging the Role of Digital Educators in Ireland, explored critical insights into how older adults are supported in acquiring digital skills. The study involved in-depth interviews with 34 digital educators across Ireland, aiming to better understand the challenges and successes of teaching older generations in the digital age.
The findings revealed:
The profound impact digital educators have on fostering digital literacy among older adults.
Common challenges educators face, such as limited resources, varying levels of digital competency among learners, and a need for more tailored teaching approaches.
The importance of creating inclusive learning environments that address older adults\' unique needs and fears about technology.
The study underscored the urgent need to improve educational frameworks to better support older adults, ensuring they are not left behind in an increasingly digital world. This study is one of the many steps the CyberSafety team are taking to create accessible tools to ensure everyone has access to information on how to stay safe online.
A Spotlight at CSCW
The research was presented as a poster, which turned out to be one of the highlights of the conference. The work sparked significant interest among attendees, leading to lively discussions about the future of digital education for marginalized groups. The poster\'s engaging design and insightful content earned it the Best Poster Award, a testament to its relevance and impact.
