Abstract:
This article examines the digital divide in workplace learning, highlighting disparities in the distribution and adoption of advanced learning technologies across workplace types. Through a rapid literature review, the study finds a concentration of advanced learning technologies use in the education, health, and medical sectors, with limited use in other sectors, particularly non-technical and smaller organizations. The findings underscore the inequitable access to technologyenabled learning opportunities, highlighting a significant gap between professional and non-technical sectors. The article proposes the use of AI-driven content creation as a strategic approach to democratize workplace learning and reduce the resource barriers associated with implementing advanced learning technologies. This research establishes a foundation for understanding and addressing the digital learning divide, and suggests future directions for more equitable technology integration in workplace learning.
