INTRODUCTION
In todays world, technology is a popular topic.
Without question, it has swept the globe.
Technology impacts every part of our lives,
including cooking, communication, travelling,
sports, and governance. Technology is dynamic,
and it takes the right abilities to adjust to
this dynamic. We can only arm ourselves and adapt
to technological changes through education.
Therefore, education cannot fall behind while

The result of technology is digital e-learning.
It is distinct from online learning or even just
digital learning, though. Students who
participate in digital learning do so with
digital tools. Online courses, audio-video
lectures, study materials, textbooks, and
reference notes are all possible. It combines
blended learning with online learning. On the
other hand, digital e-learning is a method of
knowledge that is entirely dependent on and made
more accessible by electronic content. Teachers
and students solely interact virtually and
communicate with the aid of electrical devices.

printing, cloud computing, and augmented social
networking reality, classrooms are being
updated. By shielding them from distractions,

Interactive Whiteboards With interactive
whiteboards, images from a computer can be
projected using a digital projector onto a
sizable board that is mounted to the wall. It
allows users to interact with the board's
information using their fingertips or a
pen. Software Applications To aid students in
their learning process, numerous applications
are accessible. These programs are created to
run on smartphones, tablets, or PCs. The
Internet also provides all of the online services
that were not previously accessible, such as
blogs, wikis, podcasts, and so on.

Today, education is almost conducted online. The
popularity of a platform that gives teachers the
tools they need to teach online has increased in
response to the demand for online education. A

This aids in the teacher's comprehension of the
needs of the pupils and what will make learning
more understandable for them. Technology is

talent. The initial requirement for learning is
a willingness to learn. When learning through a

Don't use too many sources Choosing worthwhile
materials for focused learning can be
challenging because there is no shortage of study
material available online.

maintain a finite pool of learning resources
(Baticulon et al., 2021). Digital e-learning,
online learning, or digital learning There are
countless possibilities to learn and develop
through all these educational methods. Anyone can
