The Role of Digital Tools in Blended Learning: Strategies for Effective Classroom Integration

Abstract

E-learning is a new instrument in higher education that offers training and development through cutting-edge technology. This specific system serves as justification for replacing the long-standing, conventional method. E-learning still has certain limitations, though, and they must be addressed. Technology-enhanced online content is integrated with in-person classroom instruction when e-learning and traditional learning are blended. It combines the individualized touch of traditional learning with the ease, speed, and affordability of e-learning. Blended learning is a combination of online and in-person instruction that combines some of the features of online courses with in-person interactions. To maximize the benefits of online programs, learners must acquire new pedagogical abilities. (Oliver, 2005)

            A key strategy in contemporary education is blended learning, which blends traditional classroom techniques with digital tools. Learning Management Systems (LMS), interactive simulations, and collaborative platforms are examples of digital tools that improve student results, increase engagement, and enable individualized learning. This study highlights the advantages and difficulties of technology adoption while examining methods for successfully using digital technologies into classroom instruction. (Horn and Staker, 2014)

            To give educators and policymakers useful information, the study uses both primary and secondary data sources, such as teacher surveys and scholarly literature analysis. The results show that in order to fully realize the promise of blended learning, organized technology integration, teacher professional development, and alignment with curriculum objectives are essential.
