LSC TechConnect

Among the many lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic was the importance of students having equal access to technology. The Lone Star College TechConnect program offers digital resources such as HP laptops and Apple iPads for students enrolled at LSC.

“The pandemic has exposed the digital divide and the urgency with which we must work toward a solution,” said Stephen C. Head, Ph.D., LSC Chancellor. “Lone Star College is committed to finding a solution that makes education available to all.”

Access to this kind of technology is vital for students in higher education. The U.S. Dept. of Education reports that online learning opportunities and the use of open educational resources and other technologies can increase educational productivity by accelerating the rate of learning.
