Jill Juris, Skye Leedahl, Shannon Jarrott, Caroline Halliday

TL;DR
This study refined a checklist for intergenerational technology use in higher education through expert consensus using the Delphi method.
Contribution
The study presents a validated, consensus-driven version of the IG TECH checklist with 45 items across six sections.
Findings
The Delphi panel achieved 100% consensus on all items in the final round.
The final IG TECH includes six sections and 45 items after iterative refinement.
High response rates were maintained across all three Delphi rounds.
Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the InterGenerational Technology Engagement Checklist for Higher Education (IG TECH) using the Delphi approach that builds expert consensus. We conducted three rounds with the Delphi panel comprised of researchers and practitioners with expertise in intergenerational programs. In each round, participants evaluated the IG TECH using a Criteria Rating Form that included quantitative and qualitative responses related to: 1) Construction, 2) Appropriateness and, 3) Relevance. Responses on a four-point Likert scale ranged from “Poor” to “Excellent”. Consensus was pre-defined as 80% of ratings for each item “Good” or “Excellent.” The Criteria Rating Form was modified in subsequent rounds to include items with less than 80% approval. Participants were invited from a repository of 283 programs identified through the Generations United database, previous…
