THE DIGITAL DIVIDE AND RURAL COMMUNITY COLLEGES: PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS

Stephen G. Katsinas, Patricia Moeck · 2002 · Community College Journal of Research and Practice

Summary. Rural America faces a persistent and widening digital divide, with lower rates of telephone, computer, and internet access compared to urban areas. This gap affects nearly all demographic groups—single parents, elderly and young people, minorities, people with disabilities, and lower-income households. The article examines four national reports documenting these disparities and discusses how the divide impacts rural community college students, educators, administrators, and policy decisions.
