The purpose of this qualitative interpretive study was to explore how urban older adult participants of a basic computer training program use their experiences, strategies, and perceptions so that they can learn, use, and make sense of computer technology in their everyday lives. The study context involved an urban library system computer training program offered throughout the year in each of its branch libraries. Data were collected through eight semi-structured in-depth interviews and analyzed using a qualitative methodology over a period of 18 months. Findings showed that the older adult participants employed a number of behaviors, skills, and attitudes in order to deal with the human-computer interface (screen, mouse, and keyboard). They made sense of computer technology through their use of space, place, time, and mind interrelationships. Educators can use these findings to design training interventions for older adults as well as older worker-learners who choose to remain or return to the workplace.
