Overall, while HBCUs represent only a small percentage of higher education institutions in the United States, they continue to be a vital source of education and opportunity for African American students, particularly in fields where they have been historically underrepresented.
Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) can benefit greatly from incorporating technology into their education systems. Here are some reasons why:
-
Enhance student learning: Technology can provide HBCU students with access to a wider range of educational resources, including online libraries, research databases, and interactive learning platforms.
-
Improve student outcomes: By incorporating technology, HBCUs can track student progress and identify areas where students are struggling.
-
Increase student engagement in form of virtual reality simulations, gamification, and other interactive tools.
-
Prepare students for the workforce
