چکیده
The aim of the present work is to evaluate differences according to age in digital competence, usages, and attitude towards ICT in a sample of 1231 online students of a distance university. To fulfill this goal, hypothesis testing, correlation analysis, and data mining techniques were performed on the basis of a 72-item survey. Results showed no strong differences between extreme groups of age. Besides, some interesting correlations between variables and additional information through association rules were found. This study led to better knowledge of online students in order to improve teaching and learning processes.
