Abstract

Access to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has the potential to improve the quality of life for many members of the ageing population. However, some older users lack the intrinsic motivation to learn to use this technology, and poor user interface design is partly to blame. The research presented here investigates how motivation theory can be applied to interface design in order to encourage older users to learn to use ICT. In addition to a brief literature review, an overview of methods, research goals, and current research status are presented.
