Core Webinar: Trailblazing pathways across the digital divide

Date: Wednesday, June 19, 2024

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.

Description: In this webinar, participants will learn about a collaborative
partnership between an academic library and offices within Student Affairs
and campus IT to identify and fund long-term (full academic year) laptops
to students most in need of this critical technology. Presenters will
provide a case study of how a small pilot program quickly gained popularity
and became a paramount service in meeting the needs of at-risk students
while building meaningful cross-institutional relationships. Presenters
will demonstrate how to develop campus partnerships to implement long-term
technology lending programs and meet the technology needs of at-risk
students to promote their overall success in an equitable and scalable
manner. Attendees will gain insight (including powerful impact data) on how
to make the case for similar programs at their higher education
institutions, and they will take away an understanding of how to
operationalize such a service, leveraging lessons learned from pitfalls
experienced in the pilot program.

Learning outcomes:

At the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:

   -

   Understand the need for such a program at their institutions.
   -

   Identify potential academic partners at their institutions and make the
   case for the need and achievability of this program.
   -

   -
