This article reviews a wide range of national and international reports, empirical research, and theoretical articles to present a renewed look at the evolving digital divide in educational settings. Digital inequality impacts students' learning, and it has become a crucial problem across the globe. Using an international comparative approach, the article focuses on explanations for the digital divide. It also seeks to address how the patterns of this new form of inequality vary systematically across countries, and highlights the potential importance of examining the digital divide in educational research.
