Abstract
Students participating in University Programs for Seniors are gradually more adapted to the technological changes taking place in society. E-inclusion is becoming a reality and the sentence This is not for me is less heard. We are concerned in knowing the motivations that make students enroll in an educational program like the University Pro- grams for Seniors and the reasons that make students participate in a massive way in workshops or courses related to technology issues. The needs and interests shown by the students help program managers to plan appropriate activi- ties and teachers to know better the kind of student that attends their classes. It is important to know the difficulties that our students confront, as it will help us to adapt the class contents to the group and to transform their weaknesses into strengths. Therefore, our case study analyses the motivations and interests of the group of students that is currently attending a course related with new technologies in the Open University for Seniors (uom). The work also gathers together the main common difficulties when working with the computer. Finally, results are compared with a group of students that have never enrolled in a course related with new technologies.
