Online classes/discussion groups for older adults

[Anonymous]

My 79 year old father is mentally intact, with extremely limited mobility. I'd like to set him up with some type of interactive online discussion group. I went on Outschool, but that seems mostly geared towards kids/teens. Any suggestions?

Try the Osher Center for Lifelong Learning through Johns Hopkins or AU:

I’ve seen online Meetup’s that are book clubs around a subject like History, or group language classes.

See if your community has aging in place organizations (they often have village in the name). I addition to practical help they often have online meetups.

Plus one to OLLI DC. It's a very well-run operation and the majority of their offerings are online.

Some public libraries are also offering online book discussion groups.
