Today's Chronicle summarizes a study from Educause. They found that there is still a digital divide between "affluent and needy" students. Um, it sounds like some people were actually surprised by that. :?

PDF... grr.
I don't have a Chronicle subscription and I can't download the PDF for some reason, so my comment is pretty much worthless. Sorry about that.
Well, the study is useful in that it quantifies, illustrates, examines the gap... and if the news is that the gap is closing slowly or not at all, well, that's worth investigating as a separate issue.

It is a subscriber-only! Oh no, sorry for posting it. I must have been logged in when I looked at it, and since it's info-tech, assumed it was free. It didn't say much anyway, and at least the Educause material is available.
