In today’s age, it is crucial to be aware of one’s surroundings, updated with the latest news, improving knowledge, and remain socially connected.

The teaching toolkits are created as per the Inclusive Design principles, Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG 2.0), and human-centered design strategies for older adults.
