Digital Equity and Adult Education

Strong partnerships and innovative community solutions are key for organizations looking to advance adult education opportunities using upcoming Digital Equity Act funds. This was the message of Digital Equity Champions for All Learners: Preparing Adult Education, a webinar hosted by the Department of Education’s Office of Educational Technology (OET) in partnership with the Coalition on Adult Basic Education (COABE) and World Education. The webinar, part of a series on the subject in advance of the COABE National Conference later this month, featured a number of “possibility models” of successful and replicable strategies for closing the digital access divide. In each model, coalition-building and sustainable partnerships were crucial to maintaining digital inclusion work.
