Digital media allows for interactive and individualized learning experiences by incorporating multimedia elements like text, graphics, audio, video and animation. Students can use digital media tools to explore virtual environments and learn at their own pace. Common digital media applications include simulations, e-books, virtual reality, drill and practice software, and distance learning programs that integrate online and in-person instruction. Educators are increasingly using digital media tools like tutorials, presentations, and integrated learning systems to enrich classroom experiences.
