Subliminal Teaching for Elderly People Through Crossmedia Storytelling
摘要
Elderly people are among the most vulnerable groups in terms of their exposition to cyber threats in our increasingly digital society. While a large variety of IT services is available that could support especially their lives (e.g. related to health or mobility issues), out of a lack of self-efficacy they often tend to evade these services–including even those that aim at improving IT security-related competences. We present an infotainment approach to reach these people with relevant information and an encouraging message through crossmedia storytelling. First feedback from a user study including live readings as well as offline and online media provides strong hints that information integrated in a narrative primarily received for entertainment can percolate mental reservation against digital services and improve self-efficacy.
