시대적 디지털 환경변화를 반영하는 지능정보사회는 개인적인 삶의 변화 가능성으로 기대되는 반면, 지능정보기술에 익숙하지 않은 정보취약계층의 디지털 격차는 활용 불가능의 불편함을 넘어 지능정보사회에서 누릴 수 있는 사회적·경제적 불평등이 야기되는 현실이다. 본 연구는 지능정보사회의 디지털 포용 실현을 위한 노인 미디어교육 분야의 과제를 도출하는 데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 '제6차 국가정보화 기본계획(2018~2022)'과 '2022 교육정보화백서(2022)'를 통해 지능정보사회와 관련되는 국가정보화 비전, 목표, 전략 및 과제를 살펴보았으며, '2022년 디지털 정보격차 실태조사' 결과를 통해 취약계층으로 분류된 노인층의 디지털 격차 현황을 통하여 디지털정보화 역량(54.5%)과 디지털 정보화 활용수준(72.6%)은 낮은 것으로 파악하였다. 지능정보사회에서 노인층의 디지털 정보격차를 완화하기 위해서 노인 미디어교육 분야에서는 지능정보기술을 활용한 지능형 미디어교육 서비스 개발, 늘배움 온라인서비스 채널을 통한 노인 미디어교육 서비스 제공, 노인층을 위한 디지털 지능형 미디어 교육 지원 등이 필요할 것으로 여겨진다.
