This brief blog entry reflects on the digital divide in online education and on how to build a bridge across it. At the beginning of my teaching experience, almost 20 years ago, classes (apart from lecture theatres) were equipped with PCs, a digital whiteboard and digital drawing pens. Often, the pens would not write on the digital whiteboard due to some technical misfortune. As a result, students would usually be sitting behind a desktop PC, while I would be typing on the screen or writing on a regular notepad with an analogue pen.
