Digital Learning Challenges in Higher Education: A Literature Review

This report provides an overview of the challenges associated with digital learning, drawing from two research articles. The first article, based on qualitative findings from student interviews, highlights issues such as lack of awareness, data availability problems, adverse use of guidelines, and the influence of social media platforms. The second article, a literature review, examines the challenges faced by academics in higher education, discussing key themes such as the issues present in the digital learning process. The report assesses the methodologies and findings of both articles, reflecting on the usefulness of the sources and the impact on the author's understanding of digital learning. The report emphasizes the importance of addressing these challenges to improve the effectiveness of e-learning systems, and it is available on Desklib where students can find past papers and solved assignments.

Summarize
The journal is based on the proposing of the qualitative finding that is found directly from
the students. It have been seen that a peer group have been created in the process. This section
ensures that there have been conduction of interviews. The sample population of the entire
interview conduction process have been 9. The main focus of performing the study is to analyze
the issue that can be affecting the entire studying process. Challenges that are faced in the e-
learning process in the 21st century is well understood. The major issue that have been spotted in
the process is that there have been improper awareness of the e learning process. Another issue
that have been seen in the interview process is that there will an inconvenience that is created
due to the processing of the data availability in the non continuous websites. Another issue that is
considered in the process is the lack of use policy that have been using the guidelines adversely
which have been impacting the usefulness of the entire e learning process. It have also been seen
that the social media have been providing a vaster e learning platform that that of the formal e
learning platforms.
The students that have been interviewed in the process have a diversified educational
background. Few of the students were from the engineering background and the other students

were from the Business Administration, Management Information Systems and Computer
Graphics section. Hence the report is completely based on the result achieved due to the answers
that have been received from the students. In case anyone asks about the article it is to be stated
that the article is very precise and sticks to the central point of discussion. Another benefit that is
received in the process is that the data sets are primary data sets and hence the data that are
present in the research process are highly authentic in nature.
Assess
The participants of the study are students of different background. It have been seen that
there are 9 students who have been interviewed. This section ensures that the data that are
collected in the process are with the help of these students.
The study was undertaken in an interview conduction process. This ensures that the data
that are collected are primary data. After the interview is conducted, data that are generated have
been demonstrated in the research paper.
The reliability of the data that are stated in the research paper can be questioned. It can be
stated that the authenticity of the data is very high, however the accuracy of the data can be
questioned.
As it is a primary data collection oriented research paper, it can be stated that there are
proper assessment of the research completion. The research paper can be compared with other
journals. However, there are certain aspects that are to be considered in the process. Most of the
journals are based on secondary data hence the competitive prospect of the paper is not present.

Reflect
Yes, the source have been very helpful to me. The main aspect that is to be considered is
that the data that have been received are primary in nature and hence wise real time experiences
can be counted on. I used to think that the e learning process was full of advantages and there
cannot be any one who feels the otherwise. This thought process have undergone a major change
in the process.
Key Themes
 Key point: Challenges in e learning
 Supporting group discussion: There are certain challenges that are to be considered which
if not eliminated will be reducing the acceptance of the entire system.

Summarize
The article discusses regarding the proper evaluation of the digital learning process. The
challenges that are present regarding the processing of digital learning process is also stated in a
better manner. Research process have been including the fact that better assessment of the
advantage of the entire digital learning process is also stated. Challenges that are present in the
system have also been stated in the research paper. This paper discusses about the 5 major
challenges that are present in the working process. In case anyone asks about the research

process, it can be stated that the research paper is highly exclusive in nature. Preciseness of the
data have been very high as well. The research paper have also ensures that the referencing
process is also performed in a proper manner.
Assess
The participant of the study are performed by Martin D. Beer and Frances Stack. The
study is performed with the help of proper analysis of the literature. This section ensures that
proper assessment of the literature that is written by different scholars are considered in the
process. This section ensures that the data that are stated in the research paper are highly relevant
in nature. The authenticity of the data that are provided in the research process is high as well.
The data that are provided in the research process have been highly reliable in nature. The
data that are provided are properly referenced. The referenced data ensures that there is a proper
authentication of data. This authentication of data ensures that the data can be properly assessed.
This section ensures that authenticated data ensures that there is a proper assessment of the
authenticity of the data.
The source is highly objective in nature. Yes, the source is useful and can be used for
performing proper research process. It can be stated that the high authenticity in the data have
been bettering the entire worming process.
In the initial stages, it was clear that digital learning have several advantages, however,
the issues of the digital learning process was not well known to me. After performing proper
research and going through the article, it got clear that there are several disadvantages of the
digital learning as well on which proper research is to be conducted.
