Guest Commentary: Could Open Education Resources Widen the Digital Divide? (video)

First, a hat tip to Education Week's Digital Education blogger Katie Ash for pointing to this.
Justin Reich, a doctoral student at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, has posted a video about his research open education resources (OER) and the impact on education equity.
Common wisdom would lead one to think that OER, combined with mobile devices, expansion of virtual education and other online learning opportunities, would go a long way to closing the digital divide.
Reich says his research doesn't point to that result.
Click here for Reich's video on his work and to learn about his Jan. 17 presentation, which will be webcast live, on whether OER actually might widen the digital divide.
