digital access overview
What is Digital Access and why is it important?
The element of Digital Access is defined as full electronic participation in society (Ribble, 2015). The element of Digital Access is presented as a reminder that although technology allows our society to communicate extremely fast, we need to give care and consideration to the fact that not everyone has the same access to technology (Ribble, 2015). Students and teachers alike may not have access based on a variety of different socioeconomic statuses, demographics, and even physical location. Given all of these possible limitations, one needs to proceed with extreme care and consideration when looking at how technology is used.

Digital Access and Customer Care Centers
Digital Access is a significant consideration in the Care Center. When everything from our online job application to actual job requirements requires a significant level of understanding of various technologies Digital Access is an important consideration for all levels of leadership. Our HR team needs to make sure that the new associates have access to the technologies to work at the care center. Moreover, they need to make sure that the lack of access, does not disproportionately exclude people from various specific protected classes. In addition to monitoring the hiring practices we also need to make sure that our training provide an equal level of access to the needed technology to avoid such discrimination.
