Within the on-going Erasmus+ project "DiGiBLEND | Improving adult digital literacy through innovative gamified gamified blended learning", we have developed a new and innovative approach to teaching and training basic digital skills for the target group of older adults. As a result, we have developed the new board game "INFINITY" for the game-based assessment of digital literacy among elderly adults. The testing was successful and the results will be used in the dissemination of the DiGiBLEND project.
Elderly adults often find it difficult to adapt to the digital environment, because they lack the basic digital literacy that is required to carry out everyday activities in this digitally transformed world, either professional or private. However, for more than a decade, the EU's strategy and related policy initiatives have pursued the objective of enhancing the digital skills and competencies of all citizens for successful digital transformation. In this context, seniors are considered to be learners who have to be treated patiently.
