School closures induced by the COVID-19 pandemic led to concerns about student learning. This paper evaluates the effect of school closures on student learning in Uzbekistan, using a unique dataset that allows assessing change in learning over time. The findings show that test scores in math for grade 5 students improved over time by 0.29 standard deviation despite school closures. The outcomes among students who were assessed in 2019 improved by an average of 0.72 standard deviation over the next two years, slightly lower than the expected growth of 0.80 standard deviation. The paper explores the reasons for no learning loss.

This work represents the first attempt to position digital capital as cumulative and transferable, independent from, and intertwined with the other five forms of capitals. The book aims to propose a theoretical toolkit and empirical model that can be used by policy makers to tackle social inequalities created by the digital exclusion of citizens.

Digital Skills systematically discusses the skills or literacies needed in the use of digital media, primarily computers and the Internet. Following the work of van Dijk's, The Deepening Divide: Inequality in the Information Society, it uses conceptual analysis and empirical observations to show what digital skills are, how they are distributed, how skill inequalities develop, and how these inequalities can be remedied by designers, educators, policymakers, and different types of Internet users

Over half a century ago, in The Gutenberg Galaxy (1962), Marshall McLuhan noted that the overlap of traditional print and new electronic media like radio and television produced widespread upheaval in personal and public life: Even without collision, such co-existence of technologies and awareness brings trauma and tension to every living person. Our most ordinary and conventional attitudes seem suddenly twisted into gargoyles and grotesques. Familiar institutions and associations seem at times menacing and malignant. These multiple transformations, which are the normal consequence of introducing new media into any society whatever, need special study. The trauma and tension in the daily lives of citizens as described here by McLuhan was only intensified by the arrival of digital media and the Web in the following decades. The rapidly evolving digital realm held a powerful promise for creative and constructive good--a promise so alluring that much of the inquiry into this new environment focused on its potential rather than its profound impact on every sphere of civic, commercial, and private life. The totalizing scope of the combined effects of computerization and the worldwide network are the subject of the essays in The Digital Nexus, a volume that responds to McLuhan's request for a "special study" of the tsunami-like transformation of the communication landscape. These critical excursions provide analysis of and insight into the way new media technologies change the workings of social engagement for personal expression, social interaction, and political engagement. The contributors investigate the terms and conditions under which our digital society is unfolding and provide compelling arguments for the need to develop an accurate grasp of the architecture of the Web and the challenges that ubiquitous connectivity undoubtedly delivers to both public and private life.

"Aujourd'hui, le "numérique" est partout. Du transport à l'alimentation en passant par la santé ou le logement, difficile de trouver une sphère d'activité qui échappe encore à son emprise. Du moins dans les pays du Nord. Au Sud, les progrès de la numérisation restent plus inégaux. Ils n'en posent pas moins question. D'abord, parce que les technologies numériques reposent sur une exploitation massive des ressources de la nature - ce qu'on appelle l' "extractivisme" - et une fuite en avant écologique dont le Sud est la première victime à l'échelle mondiale. Ensuite, parce que leur déploiement profite avant tout à une poignée de multinationales qui concentrent un pouvoir inédit grâce à l'exploitation de quantités toujours croissantes de "données". Enfin, parce que la gouvernance et l'infrastructure globales du numérique sont aujourd'hui dominées par le Nord et le secteur privé, avec à la clé de nouvelles formes de dépendance et d'exploitation. Mais les résistances s'organisent. Des États cherchent à promouvoir leur "industrialisation numérique" ou plus largement leur "souveraineté technologique". En parallèle, des mouvements sociaux défendent un usage démocratique, écologique et émancipateur du numérique, face aux instrumentalisations du capitalisme de plateforme, mais aussi de la surveillance étatique."
