This article explores the challenges and opportunities of digital equity with a particular focus on adult learning in an increasingly digitally connected society. It argues that digital inequalities caused by a lack of access to infrastructure and digital skills are more complex than often assumed and cannot be overcome through the provision of technical resources and training alone. Instead, a differentiated approach is required that takes into account the complex facets of digital inequality and its impact on education, social participation and the labour market. The article first examines the theoretical foundations of digital equity and then uses a practical example, an online course for refugees, to show how digital educational opportunities can be designed to meet the specific needs of marginalised groups. Finally, a toolkit is presented that can serve as a guide for educational institutions to develop their own inclusive digital education programmes. The article argues in favour of comprehensive approaches that go beyond technological solutions and focus more strongly on the social dimension of digital participation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
