The integration of digital tools into educational environments is essential for making the learning process more effective and efficient. This study examines the use of digital tools in education and their benefits for students and teachers through a literature review. Digital tools, such as interactive course materials, online assignments, and student tracking systems, enrich learning processes and enable teachers to monitor student progress effectively. Interactive simulations and virtual reality applications enhance learning experiences, making them more engaging and impactful. In virtual classroom settings, communication dynamics are strengthened through LMS platforms and video conferencing tools. These tools, with features like announcements, online discussion forums, and easy access to course materials, increase student participation. Strategies such as providing feedback, using interactive materials, and organizing engaging activities are crucial for boosting student motivation and active participation in lessons. Enhancing teachers' digital skills improves technology-based communication competencies, facilitating a more effective learning process.

EĞİTİM İLETİŞİMİNDE DİJİTAL DÖNÜŞÜM VE TEKNOLOJİ

Öz

Eğitim ortamlarının dijital araçlarla bütünleşmesi, öğrenme sürecini etkili ve verimli hale getirmek için önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, literatür taraması yöntemiyle dijital araçların eğitimdeki kullanımı ve öğrenci-öğretmenlere sağladığı faydalar incelenmiştir. Dijital araçlar, interaktif ders materyalleri, çevrimiçi ödevler ve öğrenci takip sistemleri ile öğrenme süreçlerini zenginleştirir ve öğretmenlerin öğrenci ilerlemesini takip etmelerini sağlar. İnteraktif simülasyonlar ve sanal gerçeklik uygulamaları, öğrenme deneyimini daha etkili ve keyifli hale getirir. Sanal sınıf ortamlarında iletişim dinamikleri, LMS platformları ve video konferans uygulamaları sayesinde güçlendirilir. Bu araçlar, duyuru, çevrimiçi tartışma forumları ve ders materyallerine kolay erişim gibi imkanlarla öğrenci katılımını artırır. Geri bildirim verme, interaktif materyaller kullanma ve etkileşimli aktiviteler düzenleme gibi stratejiler, öğrenci motivasyonu ve derslere aktif katılım için önemlidir. Öğretmenlerin dijital becerilerinin geliştirilmesi, teknoloji odaklı iletişim yetkinliklerini artırarak daha etkili bir öğrenme süreci sunar.
