Abstract

This study describes a 2-credit, intergenerational Community-Engaged-Learning course that paired undergraduates (n=27) with low-income older adults (n=18) for technology training. Students met weekly in the classroom to learn about aging and at the senior center where they provided training. Both age groups indicated positive outcomes including forming strong intergenerational relationships.
