The adoption rate of technologies by older adults is dependent on several
factors, such as the identified potential benefits in the users’ perspective.
Designing and creating technology-based products since their beginning with potential
end users, will help to guarantee a high rate use of these type of solutions,
as verified in literature. In the scope of +TV4E project, which aims to deliver
information regarding public and social services to older people through an interactive
television (iTV) platform, this study analyses the best approach to implement
a video library. This functionality allows the user to access a list of produced
videos in the last days, categorized as "seen" and "unseen". Therefore, this
article explores the process carried out to define the best approach to present a
video library. For this, the research team presented to a sample of 4 seniors, three
video library proposals developed concerning the design guidelines for iTV applications
for elderly, supported on literature review. The data collection was followed
by a cognitive walkthrough and a focus group session. Aspects as using
different combinations to present the layouts and ensure that participants were
not influenced, allowed to obtain results free of bias
