Abstract

In recent years, with the transformation of traditional education in China, the impact of online education on students has sparked great controversy in society. This study explores the digital divide due to regional disparities, aiming at the impact of the urban-rural gap on distance education in China. Using previous data analysis, this study examines the internal and external causes of the digital divide resulting from the widespread adoption of digital education across the country. It is found that exogenous factors, specifically material differences, have an adverse impact on students’ access to educational resources. And endogenous factors manifested in the form of cognitive differences also had a negative impact on students’ access. These findings indicated that the promotion of equity in online education requires a combination of interventions from both the individual and the community. To narrow the material gaps result from external factors such as economic level, regional differences and unequal distribution of educational resources. Simultaneously, efforts should be made to mitigate the awareness gap caused by personal factors such as limited cognition or the absence of proper guidance.
