چکیده
Mobile devices have much potential to support older adults in their daily lives. However older adults have reported that they find mobile devices, such as existing mobile phones, difficult to learn to use. We argue that more research is needed to improve the learnability of mobile software applications for older adults. We present three different approaches for improving mobile device learnability: improving graphical icons, using multilayered interfaces, and augmenting the mobile interface.
