Although online learning Web sites have significant educational value, Taiwan has none designed for the leaning needs of elderly citizens. Furthermore, research into their learning needs is scant. This research project focused upon the level of interactivity that they favoured, and their attitudes towards and satisfaction with this digital environment. Three identical Web sites were designed that varied only in interactivity. 120 members of the University of the Third Age in Taiwan participated. The results revealed that the level of interactivity that they favoured differed markedly from that of younger people, suggesting caution in assuming consistency across generations.
