Enhancing an Online Digital Storytelling Course for Older Adults through the Implementation of Andragogical Principles
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In earlier research on face-to-face digital storytelling courses for older adults 65 years of age and over, findings showed that this activity provided an opportunity to forge social connections with others through story as well increase the technical proficiency of participants. A digital story is a type of movie that embeds multimedia such as narration, photographs, music and text. In these courses, participants created legacy digital stories that reflected significant events, people and places in their lives. To reach a wider audience, our original face-to-face course was transformed to a fully online course. In this paper, we describe the andragogical approach used for designing this course for older adults and the perceptions of their learning experience within the context of these principles. Our findings show that participants prefer the facilitator take a greater role in discussion forums and providing technical assistance.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
