From charness at psy.fsu.edu Fri Mar 8 13:31:01 2019 From: charness at psy.fsu.edu (Neil Charness) Date: Fri, 8 Mar 2019 18:31:01 +0000 Subject: [Agedirectors] CREATE Workshop opportunity Message-ID: Hi Folks: Let me provide a shameless plug for a workshop on designing for older adults that I and other Directors of Aging Centers are participating in. The workshop is being put on by members of the Center for Research and Education on Aging and Technology Enhancement (CREATE). The focus of CREATE is on making technology more useful to and usable by older adults. It is a consortium of Weill Cornell Medicine, Florida State University, University of Illinois Urbana - Champaign, and is supported by the National Institutes of Health (National Institute on Aging). CREATE is the first group to receive the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society's Jack A. Kraft Award for Innovation since its inception more than four decades ago. The award recognized the CREATE team for its significant social impact on technology advancements for aging populations. CREATE was also the inaugural (2016) recipient of the American Psychological Association's Interdisciplinary Team Research Award. A critical aspect of the workshop is that the CREATE team will present guidelines and best practices for designing for older adults. Topics include: Existing & Emerging Technologies, Usability Protocols, Interface & Instructional Design, and design for Social Engagement, Living Environments, Healthcare, Transportation, Leisure, and Work. Each participant will receive a complimentary copy of the new third edition of our book Designing for Older Adults and a USB with our publications and tools. Please see the attached two files (pdfs) for more information and please pass on to those who might be interested in registering. Best, Neil Neil Charness, Ph.D., William G.
