Creating Anytime, Anywhere Learning for All Students: Key Elements of a Comprehensive Digital Infrastructure
Thigpen, Kamila
Alliance for Excellent Education
While connecting the nation's schools and libraries to the internet by modernizing and expanding the federal E-rate program currently dominates education technology efforts, a new report from the Alliance for Excellent Education urges that adequate broadband access be accompanied by a comprehensive "digital infrastructure" that unlocks the potential technology to enhance student learning. This report adopts a broader definition of digital infrastructure that includes professional learning, changes in pedagogy, parent and community engagement, and assessment and data systems. [Contains endnotes.]
