We propose a definition for digital equity that includes leveraging fully online and blended learning to dismantle power dynamics and systems in society that perpetuate and legitimize educational inequities. For technology to support that aim, educators must acknowledge the non-neutrality of technology and work to mitigate the negative effects of differential use, algorithmic biases, surveillance, built-in normative assumptions, and online harassment. We start by describing the current state of digital ethics and equity in K-12 blended and online learning before concluding with suggestions for future research and recommendations for policymakers and educators.

摘要

We propose a definition for digital equity that includes leveraging fully online and blended learning to dismantle power dynamics and systems in society that perpetuate and legitimize educational inequities. For technology to support that aim, educators must acknowledge the non-neutrality of technology and work to mitigate the negative effects of differential use, algorithmic biases, surveillance, built-in normative assumptions, and online harassment. We start by describing the current state of digital ethics and equity in K-12 blended and online learning before concluding with suggestions for future research and recommendations for policymakers and educators.
