An open discussion on equitable access to education by bridging the technical, cultural, and ethnic divides feat. Rhianna C. Rogers, SUNY Empire State College
Dr. Rogers reflects on her experience teaching an online class for the first time in 2009. She discusses numerous ways of increasing engagement and communication, from guided discussion forums online to taking acting classes to improve virtual “stage presence.”
She also clarifies what “equitable access” really means and reinforces how critical it is to acknowledge that these challenges are ongoing. There are numerous barriers to entry for higher education beyond socioeconomic status. Race, sexual orientation, physical or mental disabilities, even languages are equally important.
The episode wraps with a discussion about the Global Indigenous Knowledge certificate offered by ESC. The program recognizes global indigenous knowledge without a colonial mindset.
