Equity in Digital Learning: Barriers and Accelerants

Wednesday, October 23, 2024 | 11:30AM–12:15PM CT | Meeting Room 007CD, River Level
Session Type: Breakout Session
Delivery Format: Presentation/Panel Session
Our national longitudinal research into the use of digital teaching and learning tools (Tyton Partners' Time for Class) suggests that institutions that prioritize racial and socioeconomic equity in digital learning also report that digital learning has resulted in success for those student subgroups. But what concrete institutional/instructional practices are required to implement the prioritization of equity? We suggest barriers and accelerants to equity in digital learning, including access to technology infrastructure, course-level data, and digital teaching resources and support.
