Online, that is, to join the conversation about digital access. With a live webcast hosted by social media mavens, live blogging from a civic-minded team and more, LINK live certainly has much to offer netizens of all shapes and sizes.
LINK live supports LINK AMERICAS Foundation’s concept of Technology Serving Humanity.
The interactive show covers a variety of topics in the digital space, including digital literacy, people-generated media, bridging the digital divide and universal access through broadband and other technologies.
LINK live is not your normal webcast. The show has been programmed to use the tools of digital literacy in order to be highly interactive with the viewers. Our interactive technologies engage participants in the conversation, and guide them in contributing to the dynamic content of each show.
Special guests on the show represent expertise from across the digital, media and policy spheres. Each show tackles a different perspective of the importance of digital literacy for the workforce, education, and its need for all citizens to participate successfully in a 21st Century economy.
Our goal is to create an interactive platform for disseminating information and encouraging conversation about the importance of digital literacy and its role in our 21st Century society.
Join us so that you can contribute to the discussion!

The purpose of National Distance Learning Week is to generate greater awareness and appreciation for distance learning, including K-12, Higher Education, Corporate and Military, while recognizing leaders and best practices in the field. Therefore, we urge you to conduct local or national events during this time—whether you are a professional engaged in the day-to-day practice of distance learning, or an individual or organization that provides products and services being distributed via the Internet, video conferencing, or satellite technologies.
