The invisible barrier: Liz Starbuck Greer on the power of digital capital

In this episode, we sit down with Liz Starbuck Greer following her impactful session at MoodleMoot Global 2025, which was a firm favourite amongst attendees.

While educators often focus on providing tools, Liz argues that tools are only half the battle. She will dive into the concept of ‘Digital Capital’ - the unique blend of skills, confidence, and networks that determines a learner’s success in a virtual world.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why access is more than just having a laptop or smartphone.
• How to identify and support learners with low digital capital.
• The intersection of accessibility, equity, and Moodle design.
• Practical ways to build "digital confidence" into your curriculum.

This episode was hosted by Shalimar Anderson and Dan Lehner.
