ED 5612 - Systemics Dimensions of Digital Equity

In this course participants will explore why digital equity investments must be “systemic” if they are to significantly improve such metrics as participation in living wage careers and educational opportunity and attainment. We will examine research that identified essential dimensions of a systemic approach, the growing range of known providers of these resources, and socially responsible business strategies for eliciting more providers to provide resources at increasingly affordable costs for all including low-income learners.
