I manage a Digital Literacy Program for seniors. This is a great idea. But for example, most seniors I work with are total beginners. Simply getting to signing up for an udemy course and figuring out player controls on this course are pretty big obstacles.

The long running "Easy Tablet Help for Seniors" is much simpler and free.

Sorry! Don't want to discourage your work though!



Can you share resources which you feel are the most useful for a beginner? I've been looking for course material for my mother.


Overall, Senior Planet from AARP has some great resources. They even run support groups for victims of fraud. https://seniorplanet.org/on-demand/

Generations is pretty good if not a little dated but all free. http://www.generationsonline.com/

Drive your learning is great collaboration between AT&T and Digitunity. I'm uncertain if every course is free but I'm really loving their cybersecurity lessons. http://www.driveyourlearning.org/

Oasis has some great videos as well. Again, I appreciate their safety lessons. https://connections.oasisnet.org/Safety/
