Tonight we were fortunate in having a web conference with Itai in Israel who has designed software specifically for senior users to access their email. We were able to see a demonstration of the software and our very own eloquent senior student, Robin was able to add his viewpoint too. It was really useful to consider the design features that Itai had identified as we are in the process of building our own website so want to make sure like Itai that we have considered all the factors. We are going to trial the software and send our feedback to Itai at Red Stamp Mail. Also, as we are part of the Digital Inclusion Network we have sent him details of our contact at Age Concern so that other silver surfers here in the UK might take advantage of the software features.
It was such a positive experience and good to know that all sorts of individuals and companies are looking for ways to attract the older population to digital technologies.
