Perspective Chapter: The Impact of Digital Education on Modern Educational Institutions

Abstract

Over the years, technology has become increasingly dominant in every sector of the world, and the impact of digital technology on educational institutions has not been left behind. The concept of “digital education,” which entails using technological tools for both learning and teaching in a classroom context, has changed the traditional classroom environment for both teachers and students. In the present era of technological advancements, digital education is essential because it makes learning efficient through individualized learning, open access to an unlimited amount of information, flexible teaching methods, etc. Digital learning makes it possible for students to communicate and study with a greater variety of materials without having to rely solely on the limited resources available in a traditional classroom setting. Students can study and explore information more easily with the aid of basic digital skills and technology. A student’s academic performance and engagement in active learning both improve with a positive attitude and motivation. Digital education has various pros and cons in the teaching environment and its impact on different beneficiaries. Through a literature search, materials from public, educational, and expert sources were obtained. In this chapter, each of these will be explored and conclusions drawn.
