Inclusive Enhancement of Digital Navigation in Indiana Rural Communities

This project reflects an educational model to leverage and demonstrate the value of digital utilization. Rural libraries served as the platform for a framework of active workshops in the 11-county Indiana Uplands region, to both educate individuals in ongoing workable access to technology and the merit of technology in furthering educational, personal, and professional goals. The project was a collaboration of the Center for Rural Engagement, the Kelley School of Business MS in Information Systems program, Indiana University students, Project HOPE, and Indiana Uplands public libraries.
