THE RELEVANCE OF ONLINE DIGITAL LEARNING

Online digital learning is all about the teacher engaging students without a classroom where he would precisely understand the needs and preferred learning methods of the student and deliver the content in the personalised manner. 

All learners do not come with the same type of intelligence. In a world of multiple intelligences such as visual, verbal, logical, kinaesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intra personal, natural & existential (ref: “Frames of mind - The Theory of Multiple intelligences by Prof. Howard Gardner), one size shirt does not fit for the students learning mode. 

And, knowledge and content is is transmitted through 6 media (text, graphics, image, audio, video and animation, called multimedia now). Depending upon the dominant  intelligence of the student, his preference of media in assimilating, comprehending and retaining the information vary. 

Finally, the five sense organs come into play for receiving the content and depending upon the learning preferences, various sense organs play out differently in doing so.

So digitalised learning allows the interplay between multiple intelligences, multimedia and the multi sense organs. Having tremendous advantages over pedagogical learning, digital learning will come into the fore, for millennials, Gen.Z and Gen.I
