Digital Learning Platforms and Student Engagement

Abstract

Digital learning platforms have become central to contemporary education, especially in the wake of global disruptions such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This article examines the role of digital learning platforms in enhancing student engagement within Pakistani educational contexts. It explores theoretical frameworks, engagement indicators, and empirical findings that link platform features to student participation, motivation, and learning outcomes. The study further identifies challenges such as infrastructure limitations, digital literacy gaps, and socio-economic barriers. Through a synthesis of recent literature and educational data, best practices are proposed to improve student engagement via digital platforms, ultimately aiming to inform educators, policymakers, and technologists in Pakistan and similar contexts
