This document summarizes several broadband access projects in Carlton County, Minnesota. It discusses projects to expand rural broadband access through school bus wifi hotspots, provide iPads and digital training through local libraries, create makerspaces at libraries, conduct a county broadband feasibility study, and connect key community locations through a digital messaging system in Moose Lake. The projects aimed to expand internet access, digital skills, and connectivity across the county. Challenges integrating different systems were experienced with the Moose Lake messaging project but digital training programs trained over 165 people and hotspots expanded home internet access.

Digital Citizen - Get Online Stay Connected Paul Kelly
This project aims to tackle the serious digital skills deficit in N Ireland by delivering digital learning opportunities in an accessible form across the public library network.
Digital skills are now necessary life skills, and these skills will become even more important in the future given that so many everyday activities – such as shopping, banking, communicating and accessing services, advice and information – increasingly require interaction with technology.
A dedicated team of seven staff are delivering an additional 2,000 tailored training opportunities targeted at sections of the population with the greatest skills needs.
The target groups which this project is primarily concerned with are:
people living in poverty
people from rural areas
older people
people with disabilities
The Digital Citizen project takes people from ‘digital muggle’ to ‘digital citizen’
Digital Muggle: No digital skills required – digital technology may as well be magic
Digital Citizen: the same work skills as are required to be a full digital citizen. This is the ability to use digital technology purposefully and confidently to communicate, find information and purchase goods/services.
While also positively impacting self-efficacy specifically around developing confidence and skills and address inequalities in society. The action learning approach tailors the learning to activities the individual wishes to take part in.
This project has a number of additional elements which are not included in the current Libraries NI digital support offer – for example delivery of specific learning opportunities to people with disabilities or vulnerable adults and development of programmes in relation to online safety which is an area of concern especially for older adults.
The Digital Citizen project reaches those in communities who have not been able to avail of basic IT training for reasons such as accessibility, affordability, awareness, or confidence.
Getting Tenants Online: Digital Inclusion & Social Housing
Many people who live in social housing (public housing) are on low income or older making them much more likely to lack basic online skills. They are also likely to benefit from online savings, and will need to interact with Government online too. I've been working with Housing Associations for three years advising on how to help tenants to get those digital skills they need. Some information about the Digital Deal programme - £400,000 grants for social housing. And Stats and facts about Housing & Digital Inclusion.
Closing the Digital Divide in Your Community Adam Echelman
This document discusses digital inclusion and new models for digital literacy. It describes how the Ideas Box, a mobile digital inclusion unit, brings internet access, technology, and educational content to communities. The Ideas Box forms a space with internet, tablets, computers, books, and educational content powered by its built-in generator. It also discusses how organizations like libraries and laundromats are bringing technology and training opportunities to people where they are. Specifically, it notes that laundromats attract mostly women and children with annual incomes around $28,000 and that 87% of patrons visit locations within a mile of their home. Digital usage varies between places and demographics.
Why Digital Inclusion is Important for Older People
Digital inclusion is important for older people for several reasons:
1) Using the internet can alleviate loneliness and social isolation for older individuals by connecting them with others.
2) The internet provides educational and learning opportunities which can benefit older adults.
3) Going online allows older people to access financial and public services more easily.
However, there are also several barriers that prevent greater internet use among older populations, including lack of skills/training, cost issues, and fears about privacy or reliability of technology. Organizations like Age UK West Cumbria are working to increase digital inclusion for older adults by providing awareness programs, training opportunities, and technical support.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

- 5. Hotspot Project • Moose Lake & Cloquet Public Libraries • Checking out the Internet at home through patron’s library cards. • Gives high speed internet access to patrons that are away from the city at no cost. • Began to circulate in Sept. Have been checked out more than 30 times already. • Will begin to checkout iPads, Chromebooks, and media players with Hotspots in the near future.
- 6. Project Goals • To get as many people exposed to new technologies as possible. To get the devices into the hands of users to become more comfortable using the devices. • To get Internet access into the homes of the people who can’t afford it, don’t have access to it, or need something faster that better meets their needs. This affords the ability to do schoolwork at home, apply for jobs online, work from home, and have entertainment. • To have free high speed Wi-Fi service at all of the libraries in Carlton County.
- 7. Reflection • If we knew then what we know now... -We would find more “train the trainer” resources and other possible outside training resources. -There were a lot of repeat class participants (senior citizens mostly)that may have required a special class. • How could the Blandin team have been more helpful? -Blandin has been very helpful. Nothing more was needed. • What community-wide impacts are you observing or expecting? -People are very appreciative of the training classes. They like that they can use devices before they purchase them and if they already had them, they like that we were able to explain and show them how to use them. -People are getting the opportunity to have Internet access from their homes for the first time. They are able to complete assignments and stream videos at no cost to them.
- 8. Connect Moose Lake Project • Moose Lake Community Digital Messaging System. • Connects City Hall, Police/Fire Dept, Chamber of Commerce, Health Care Center, and Arena. • Allows each location to post messages at their locations as well as Public Access Television channel. • The City can override all locations in the event of an emergency and post critical information for citizens at each location as well as on Public Access Television-which has about 6,000 subscribers in the immediate area.
- 9. Project Progress • Monitors are all installed in each location. • Difficulties setting up system on the back end as we are dealing with 3 different systems, firewalls, networks, etc. and getting the system to talk to each other. • Community is getting information through the Public Access channel only at this time. • Using a less complex system might have saved some of the issues that we are experiencing. Sometimes more simple is better.
