摘要
This article seeks to explore how a social learning environment can be constructed that uses IT and the Internet. Based on interviews and observations made during two experiments concerning IT and senior citizens in Denmark, the article examines how these experiments make the link between senior citizens and the Internet. In particular the cases show how IT as it is used in the social experiments, can be applied to construct empowerment properties and thereby enable "active citizenship" for seniors.
