What is digital learning?

Digital learning is learning through the support of digital preparation of learning media. In e-learning processes, the media can also be available offline. This offers the decisive advantage that students can expand their knowledge anywhere and at any time. Digital media can also be used in different ways. A digital medium can serve as a platform for learning content, be used as a communication medium or support a joint work project.

5 reasons for digital learning

  • Close to the learning reality of pupils: Nowadays, children are growing up in a digitalized world. Digital learning media are therefore indispensable. Many children have already mastered the use of cell phones, computers and other digital media at an early age.
  • Wide range of learning media: The market for digital media is growing. More and more apps, games and learning opportunities are dominating the stores and the internet. Specific apps can be used to solve math problems, improve handwriting or boost cognitive performance, for example.
  • Not location-bound: digital media does not have to be used from home, but can be used anywhere. Many media also work offline and therefore do not require internet access.
  • Increasing motivation: Digital media is usually presented in a playful, creative and varied way, which makes it more fun and enjoyable for children.
  • Tendency towards digitalization in the classroom: Digitalization will continue to be driven forward in the future. Digital learning media are therefore close to the world in which pupils live.

Tip: Whether you are a teacher or a parent, you can find more helpful tips on homeschooling in the TimeTEX blog.

Digital media at school

Educational videos for the visual learner

Educational videos have become an indispensable digital medium in the field of education. Educational videos are videos that are intended to support the learner with a complex subject. A topic such as bees, the body or the weather is explained in small steps on a more simple basis. The visual component can simplify learning for pupils.

Playful with digital devices

In addition to educational videos, the world of digital games and devices is conquering the education market. Pupils can use math trainers to learn new content in class at their own pace and expand their personal knowledge horizons. They can learn on their own or explore a topic together with friends. In a playful way, the children do not have the impression that it is an active lesson and remain engaged. Fischertechnik education products for elementary school are also particularly innovative.

Creativity through interactive whiteboards

Interactive whiteboards are connected to the computer and allow images to be projected onto the board, which can then be added to by hand. This digital method can be used to generate a good overview of a topic, for example in the form of a supplementary mind map. Board images can also be saved and projected onto the board again in the next lesson. An interactive whiteboard simplifies work on group projects and is practical to use.

A new perspective through virtual reality

The virtual reality glasses create a setting in which pupils can immerse themselves in a new world at school. The special thing about the medium is that participants can control their actions in real time. This allows pupils to learn about a topic in a playful way. The reality of pupils' lives can be integrated into lessons and new worlds can be discovered.

Digital learning at school: pros and cons

Pro Contra
Collaboration and direct exchange in the classroom Technical problems in the classroom lead to delays
Easier monitoring of learning progress Training for teachers is necessary
Simplified contribution of ideas from shy pupils Cost-intensive digital equipment
Early media use in childhood Increasing screen time
Increase in motivation  
Close to the reality of pupils' lives  
More appealing lesson design through modern media  

 

Conclusion: Digital learning

Digital diversity will continue to play an important role in schools in the future. Lessons will be increasingly adapted to the reality of pupils' lives. This also includes digitalization and the continued use of digital education. With different didactic approaches and a wide range of learning methods, pupils are immersed in the world of digital learning.
