Abstract
This study aims to understand the interactions and communication processes taking place during Joint Media Engagement (JME) sessions involving older adults/grandparents and (grand)children in the collaborative use of tablets and tablets’ Apps. In this paper, the exploratory methodologies to be implemented during empirical studies are described, as well as the development of scripts for the pre and post JME session's interviews. It is also addressed the development and validation of indicators, scales and surveys to assess grandparents/older adults and (grand)children's digital literacy and the quality of intergenerational relationship. Moreover, the paper presents the results of the pre-pilot interviews and a JME session with a grandmother and granddaughter, in which they used a tablet App to build their family tree.
