(Future)

Anyone who has been around the block in edtech has heard the phrase “Digital Divide.” But how about the “Digital Design Divide?” According to a report released this month by SETDA, teachers increasingly have access to technology but lack the time, resources, and training to integrate it effectively into their instruction.

Research from the University of Notre Dame shows that Chinese college students performed better in math during the COVID-19 pandemic after the switch to online learning, with scores improving by eight to 11 points. The study, published in Production and Operations Management, found that online education was particularly effective for reasoning-based subjects but less so for subjects requiring discussion, such as English.
