"121 Digital" returns to Waterford Institute of Technology this year.
The free programme sees adults get lessons for their digital devices.
Four two-hour lessons take place, starting Tuesday February 28th.
Last year 25 attendees took part from Waterford and South Tipp - with 27 students volunteering.
Head of Dept. - Mathematics and Computing - Dr Pádraig Kirwan told Beat News, "it's a programme that we offer for people outside of W.I.T.
It's a very short programme that runs over 4 weeks.
The idea is we're looking to address the needs of older citizens from a technological perspective."
Maria Cahill, a computing lecturer at WIT who is behind the initiative outlines the success to date.
“Last February and October 2016, the Department of Computing and Mathematics was delighted to host 25 attendees from Waterford and south Tipperary who took part in WIT's 121 digital course, working with 27 WIT student volunteers.”
“The average age of participants was 70 years and they worked with the WIT students to further improve their use of their digital devices; phones, iPads and desktops.
Participants enjoyed working with the students in a welcoming and comfortable environment. Students and learners enjoyed the opportunity to meet, talk and learn from each other. Working one to one helped make it a fun learning environment for all.”
