Kovir LLC is honored to have been asked to lead several talks on diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism.
Let us be clear, “diversity” does not and should not be used to replace the word race. As you’ll learn, diversity is the variety of human differences; therefore, it also includes age, gender, orientation, income, political status, family status, and so much more.
Given the requested topics by our clients and the funding available to provide the presentations, not to mention the tragic deaths of black and Asian persons, these bundled webinars focus on anti-racism work.
Currently, this bundle has seven talks, approximately 45-60 minutes each.
Previously, older users were taught when they encounter errors, especially digital ones, the fault is their own: “fat fingers,” “shaky hands,” or perhaps their lack of digital intelligence.
Let us be clear: The design team is at fault, not the older person.
Society consistently neglects aging persons and those with disabilities during their design process; Small targets, confusing animations, inconsistent sites, interaction patterns, and so on.
UX designers, UI designers, and the agency that hired them should have considered their customers when creating the experience and interface. The design team consistently neglecting the needs of older users contributes to the everyday ageism older people experience. They need to understand their physical changes, cognitive changes, and how older clients want to use the tools provided.
Reach your aging community members with virtual programs and content to complement your on-site operations.
We design white-label online community platforms for older people (“white label” means your name is displayed, not ours).
Create a social community and maintain a catalog of on-demand programs to keep your participants supported whether they are homebound or you are closed ( for a pandemic, inclement weather, renovations, whatever the case). Your clients can take you with them when they travel!
Learn how to create an effective and engaging online community for senior citizens. Apply aging theory to best serve and reach older people online as an extension of your on-site operations.
Whether you are using our AgeFlux, a competitor, a freebie, and ESPECIALLY if you are deciding what is right for you, this course will be useful to solve some common questions we’ve been answering around aging and tech. Here is our fact sheet, and below is the course outline.
What platform is right for my older people?
How do I know if it’s working?
How do I know if it is going to be worth it?
How do I get my older adults to engage?
Will it be sustainable?
What else should I be asking?
I’ve never managed a community before. Can I do this? (YES!)
Self-paced with 5 modules, 15 lessons, 30 videos, a workbook, and aging theory integrated at every turn.

“Peers” is a term we use when talking about persons with shared experiences. “Tech Coaches” can also be referred to as “Digital Navigators” or “Digital Guides.” The research surrounding tech peer support with older adults is growing stronger every day.

Regarding older people learning to use tech, we encourage using peers and matching based on shared experiences and/or identities. Here are some (but not all) shared dimensions you can consider when pairing participants:

“Intergenerational” is a term we use when talking about younger generations working alongside older generations. “Tech Coaches” can also be referred to as “Digital Navigators” or “Digital Guides.”
We encourage community-based organizations to partner young people with older people in a meaningful way, instead of letting a “youngin” swoop in a fix the issue. To avoid that kind of one-sided relationship, Kovir’s tech and aging tracks emphasize the partnership between these two groups – and we can train you.
