Productive Ageing: Insights from an Action Research Dealing with Senior Citizens' Engagement with an E-Learning Platform to Educate Underprivileged Children.

The paper presents the insights and observations of the interventions where fifteen retired senior citizens were trained in using an online learning platform to get productively engaged by utilising their dormant knowledge resource to impart quality education from their home to rural underprivileged school students for three years. This Action Research programme demonstrates that use of Internet and Web 2.0 Technologies by senior citizens not only helps them to get involved in a productive activity but also directly engage themselves in the development process of improving the learning outcomes of underprivileged school children in rural India.
