Over 50s are increasingly less likely to be baffled by computers and more likely to be using them as a learning resource, a new survey has revealed. And the news is described as being hugely positive in terms of older people’s health, their involvement in society and the development of their range of interests. The National Institute of Adult Continuing Education (NIACE) has published a major new survey (November 2012) showing an increase in independent and online ‘distance learning’ by more mature people. While the proportion of people aged 50 and over engaged in learning has not changed since the last survey in 2005, the numbers learning independently and online have risen.
