Details for Bridging the Digital Divide: Best Practices for Reaching UNM Students This workshop will address specific data about UNM Students and the state of New Mexico as a whole while demonstrating evidence-based approaches for bridging the “digital divide,” which is the popular term describing the phenomenon of the gap between those with reliable access to computers and internet, and those who do not. We will cover how to make your online courses accessible to those working offline at home, ensure equitable approaches to course-required technology, and set students up for success by connecting them to campus resources and providing help with internet access and various technologies.Register Now for Bridging the Digital Divide: Best Practices for Reaching UNM Students | ||||||

Yet the reverse holds true as well: Student perceptions of non-belonging contribute to educational gaps and reduced retention rates among underrepresented populations. How can instructors foster students' sense of belonging within their courses, particularly in online learning environments where contextual cues can be difficult to read?
