  • Both methods were found to be effective for all participants, with slight differences in efficiency; text instructions were marginally better for one person, while video prompting was more efficient for two others.
  • The findings suggest that either prompting procedure can be successfully used to help older adults learn important digital skills to enhance their social interactions online.
