CDE sobre descubrimientos en materia de acceso digital: construir la equidad digital más allá de la conectividad

Bruce Clark, Digital Inclusion Project Manager at the Center for Digital Equity (CDE), recently joined Digital Access Discoveries, a podcast from Beyond The Blog presented by The Patterson Foundation, to talk about how collaborative community ecosystems are key to creating digital opportunity.

In the episode “How The Center for Digital Equity at Queens University is Creating Digital Access,” host Read Corley and Bruce explore what true digital inclusion looks like — beyond simply having internet available. Clark highlights the three essential components of digital equity: connectivity, devices, and skills/support — and how meaningful progress requires trust, partnerships, and listening to the people being served.

Clark shares real-world examples of how community collaboration leads to improved job opportunities, healthcare access, and everyday technology use. He also discusses how sustainable digital equity work combines infrastructure with local support networks and ongoing relationships rooted in trust.

Esta conversación subraya el enfoque que CDE ha mantenido desde hace mucho tiempo: el acceso digital no se limita a las conexiones en un mapa, sino que se trata de que las personas se sientan seguras y respaldadas al utilizar la tecnología para satisfacer sus necesidades en la vida real.
