The role of adult education in addressing the digital divide
We are excited to share Adult Education: The Missing Piece to Bridging the Digital Divide, a paper co-written by Christine Pinsent-Johnson, one of our staff, and former staff member, Matthias Sturm.

Canada’s adult education programs are well positioned to offer essential digital learning opportunities but are currently excluded from the digital learning conversation.
