The classes were facilitated by Mass Communication students from KDU University College. 7 senior citizens registered for it. The topic that was covered in the Social Media class was “Exploring Your Gadget”, Google Drives You Everywhere”, “Beyond the Screen” (where they learned about ordering a GRAB car), tracking postage,  “Between Us” (having a social media account), “Hold the Moment”- (editing photos, video calls and sending photographs, online shopping and using Touch “N” Go).

 

Not only the senior citizens learned new things but even the KDU facilitators as well. They learned how to better communicate with older people. One lady was so happy that she bought a YMCA t-shirt as a gift for her favorite facilitator. The feedback from the seniors was very encouraging, and they hope there will be another class like this.
