Abstract

The Digital Bangladesh was a political promise to be achieved by 2021. Consequently, Bangladesh has observed a substantial improvement over recent years in the digital sphere. However, most public universities could not provide online education to students during the Covid-19 pandemic due to various forms of the digital divide. This chapter explores and investigates the post-secondary-level Media Education in Bangladesh, addressing the innovative approaches amid the digital divide. The study adopts the Diffusion of Innovations Theory, and mixed method data. The study revealed that a technologically inclusive society can reduce the digital divide. The government should establish and enforce policies that prioritize ensuring fair and equal access to digital resources despite acknowledging the existence of a digital divide in media education during the pandemic. Selected universities for this study have navigated remote education issues through a harmonious blend of governmental measures, technological integration, and support mechanisms.
