E-learning platforms allow people to attend a course virtually (also known as 'on-line'), with no distance or time limitations. This is a major advantage, since it implies that more people can access new educational opportunities.

This type of education must be designed with great care, creating materials that will allow on-line submission, as well as activities where students can participate synchronously (that is, on-demand). Furthermore, this education method lacks the ways of communication we are used to (non-verbal communication, for instance), making it harder to provide those competencies that require the students' physical presence. The case of senior students additionally demands the use of adequate teaching methods that will take into account motivation, experience and abilities.

The University for Older Adults of the University Jaume I, organizes in Castellón, 17^th, 18^th and 19^th of May 2017, the V International Seminar for Older Adults and New Technologies.

Tthe new innovations, experiences, tools and researches relatives to the older adults and new technologies will be presented from an interdisciplinary approach: digital inclusion, society, quality of life, education, integration, technology, legislation, health and security.
