Historically Black, Digitally Forward: Co-Designing Digital Learning Infrastructure for HBCUs
Complete College America
Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) excel at providing inclusive and supportive environments for Black students--and technology is important to support, not supplant, their strong in-person culture. This report examines the critical role of digital learning infrastructure at HBCUs and its impact on student success. The report details: (1) How HBCUs provide a model for student success through focused support and community-building; (2) Recommendations for implementing and expanding digital learning infrastructure at HBCUs; and (3) Opportunities for future research to further understand and improve digital learning at HBCUs and other institutions. By prioritizing student involvement and voices, HBCUs can continue to provide culturally responsive, relevant, and identity-affirming education in the digital age.
