Main goals: to master working on computer, to motivate seniors for using of computers, to use Internet possibilities, to achieve computer literacy of elderly.

Transferability:
  • our computer courses have been run for 8 years and were good example for other UTA in Slovakia
  • discussions via Internet (e.g Paltalk) we can see at the Center of continuing education at
Technical university in Bratislava. We don't have possibilities at UTAs to practice internet discussions yet.

The scope of effect: Number of UTAs offering computer and Internet courses increased from 5 UTAs to 6 and in whole Slovakia present number of students reached 263 in (2003/2004).

The Association of Slovak Universities of the Third Age doesn't have own homepage. The members of ASUTV are going to work on it from September 2003. This is one of its goals, which were designed for this year.
