Why is digitally enhanced learning important?
Integrating digital technology into learning, teaching, and assessment is essential for creating dynamic, flexible, and inclusive educational environments. It provides learners with instant access to a wealth of information, supports personalised learning tailored to individual needs, and enhances engagement through interactive and multimedia content. Digital tools also foster collaboration and communication among students, teachers, and parents, breaking down geographical barriers and enabling real-time feedback and discussion.
Moreover, digital technology equips students with the essential skills needed for success in a technology-driven world. This integration not only supports deeper understanding and improved retention of knowledge but also ensures students are well-prepared to navigate and thrive in the evolving digital landscape.
