Remote learning has been transforming the landscape of education, but lack of access to technology and the Internet make this difficult for many Americans. According to NCES, 9 million schoolchildren face difficulty in online learning, and 14% of children ages 3-18 don’t have Internet access.
A study by Microsoft shows that 163 million people do not have high-speed Internet to support conferences or video streaming, which makes remote learning challenging. The need for connectivity has never been more urgent.
This webinar will focus on bridging the digital divide in the U.S. and how remote learning shapes the future education. A question and answer session will follow the discussion.
