Digital access is the element that concerns the consideration that must be taken to assess how many of the studetns in class will have access to technology and online resources outside of the classroom.
An example of when digital access is important is in the case of inclement weather or sickness (Covid-19) and students are unable to come to school and must complete work in a non-tradional way. Although some students may have the technology and internet access at home to do work digitially, I must consider and make accommodations for those who can not.
