Closing the Digital Divide: The Creation and Deployment of Digital Resources to Promote Equity and Quality

Abstract

We live in a digital world. This reality has only been magnified by the impact of COVID-19. At all levels, from early childhood to schools, colleges and universities, and adult, community, and workplace education, there are vast discrepancies between the digital “haves” and “have nots”. These inequities must be addressed. This session introduces a variety of easily generalized strategies for improving digital access, digital skill sets, and affordability with constant attention to the quality of learning experiences.
