ONLINE PLATFORMS – IMPACT AND IMPORTANCE IN STUDENT LEARNING

The development of digital technologies has had a profound impact on society, the economy and everyday life in recent decades. The role of technology in education is becoming more and more important. As technology continues to advance, educators are finding new ways to use it to promote engagement, collaboration, assessment, and personalized learning experiences for students of all ages. In today's context, both teachers and students need to be prepared to face technological challenges. The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of online platforms on the academic learning process. The results demonstrate that online courses and platforms are a practical and effective solution for teaching activities, helping students to improve their skills and adapt to modern educational requirements. However, if they have to choose between traditional teaching and online teaching, students prefer face-to-face teaching.
