It highlights benefits such as enhanced student engagement, diverse educational resources, and personalized learning experiences, facilitated by interactive and multimedia-rich platforms. However, the paper also acknowledges significant challenges, including cognitive overload leading to loss of focus and the risk of exacerbating educational inequalities due to the digital divide. The need for strategic measures is emphasized, focusing on enhancing digital literacy, providing equitable technology access, and supporting educators with professional development in digital pedagogies. The study concludes by recognizing the potential of digital learning to revolutionize education while highlighting the importance of addressing its inherent challenges for a more effective and equitable future in education. This study suggests that Ensuring equitable access to technology and high-quality digital resources is crucial in mitigating the risk of exacerbating educational inequalities. And teachers should help students to enhance student engagement and self-control.
