The seminar will introduce the eBook created by the Seniors On-line project partners from Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland. The exploitation seminar will take place in the Estonian National Library computer class. The class has 15 computers which will enable participants simultaneously, under the teacher’s guidance, browse the eBook online. The aim of the seminar is twofold – first of all, to present the eBook, but also enable seniors practise the ICT skills they gained during their training course.
