Abstract
In the evolving landscape of education, digital learning resources have become indispensable, transforming traditional classrooms through the integration of information and communication technology (ICT). ICT tools such as Learning Management Systems (e.g., MOODLE, Google Classroom), video conferencing platforms, virtual laboratories and multimedia content foster dynamic, interactive learning experiences that accommodate diverse learning styles. These technologies enhance student engagement, support personalized learning, and cultivate essential 21st century skills such as collaboration, communication and digital literacy. Additionally, digital tools such as e-textbooks, gamification, and adaptive learning platforms offer tailored content that aligns with individual learning needs, fostering self-directed and lifelong learning. However, online learning also presents challenges such as screen fatigue, lack of focus, limited teacher training and reduced social interaction. Technological barriers and prolonged screen exposure raise concerns for students’ well-being. To optimize digital education, there must be a balance between technological use and pedagogical strategies, along with proper training for educators and attention to students’ health. When implemented effectively, digital learning holds great potential to transform education into a more accessible and engaging experience.
