Description
Summary:Vishkaie discusses building resilience for the digital divide in education. Globally, education is feeling the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Many countries have closed schools to prevent the introduction and spread of the virus into their communities. In response to the rapidly changing educational climate, the development of distance-learning programs, in which students and instructors connect via ICT in different locations, appears to be a work-in-progress, even for highly digital and developed countries. Considering the wide scope of the still-expanding digital divide, future trajectories can be envisioned for transforming the learning experiences of students across the world to mitigate its impact.
