Some of our QUT researchers look at digital inclusion issues in the AgTech sector, suggesting that the rural/urban 'digital divide' has transitioned into a 'data divide'. @amber_m@sunday9pm@dezuanni
In our final session, Mark Glasson from Anglicare WA zooms in from the west coast to emphasise the critical importance of partnerships to address digital inclusion challenges. They will be executing a 20+ partner project.
Dale Murray from Life Without Barriers shares insights on digital inclusion from young people in out of home care (OOHC). Mobiles provide continuity in life and education. Diverse devices and uses amongst pre-teens and teens, boys and girls, primary and high schoolers.
@jennykennedy is providing fascinating insights into low income students' complex and varied experiences of digital inclusion in the Connected Students project in Victoria. She shows individual device access is critical to inclusion. @qutdmrc#DigitalInclusion

Wonderful to hear from our Digital Inclusion project partners in this session, including Liz Jones from @goodthingsaus who is presenting on the 2021 Digital Nation Report. #digitalinclusion
Ben Shaw of @Infoxchange suggests the challenge for people working in #DigitalInclusion is to communicate the need for it to outsiders, using disaster resilience as an example... @qutdmrc
