COURSE DURATION: 5 DAYS

The term “digital media” in this context refers to the integration of multimedia tools into the classroom. The use of digital media as a teaching tool entails the integration of multiple digital softwares, devices, and platforms. It is becoming increasingly common for educational institutions to use digital media in their programs.

It’s possible to communicate with others via email, video, the internet, and other digital media. Advanced technical devices like iPads and laptops, which are now commonplace in many schools, make the platforms much more useful. E-mail is the preferred method of communication for most students. Emails allow students and instructors to communicate outside of the classroom. Students and teachers can communicate at any moment about any issues or concerns they may be experiencing. Even outside of the classroom, students and instructors can improve their communication skills thanks to this. It is possible for students and teachers to better engage their audiences by presenting information in a visually appealing manner. For students that are more visual, video and photo presentations have become a crucial tool in the classroom. Students were able to get their message out to a bigger audience by using video creation. Students’ engagement with the task was shown to be enhanced when it was delivered via video, according to the findings of the research. Students felt more in charge of their work and were able to express their thoughts during the production process. Students and lecturers can access and share assignments and information over the internet and websites like Google Classroom, Canvas, Blackboard, Slack, and Discord. Students can now get more knowledge, communicate with one another, and discover new opportunities within their classrooms thanks to the increasing usage of digital media in education. Laptops, videos, and internet research have all become common classroom tools as technology has advanced.

It is our goal that by the end of this course, you will be able to communicate more effectively with the newer generations of students and gain a better grasp of their world.
