Seniors have a wealth of knowledge and free time, so they are a promising workforce for crowdsourced tasks. Currently senior workers are hardly involved in real applications. We have started an experimental project that crowdsources proofreading micro-tasks to volunteer workers to efficiently produce accessible digital books. By design, the majority of the workers in this project are senior citizens. In this paper, we report the findings of our experiment in which we tested four working hypotheses about the behavioral characteristics of senior workers. We also discuss skill management to improve task performance and motivation encouragement for long-term involvement of senior workers.
