The Digital Divide During COVID-19: Controversies and Solutions

 


  1. Wed, Sep 23, 2020 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM PDT
 

 

 


In this webinar, Dr. Patti Rose will explore a long-standing concern, the digital divide, which has been magnified during COVID-19. Lack of
digital inclusion primarily impacts low income, racial/ethnic emerging majorities, rural communities, the elderly and other marginalized groups.
After discussing key issues such as how COVID-19 lockdown policies impact low-income homes without computers and broadband access, language
and literacy issues, digital health illiteracy, and geographic isolation, Dr. Rose will propose potential solutions including the need for
technologically adept community health workers, digital empathy, e-health, telehealth and more.
