Abstract

Digital learning is a significant part of today’s world. Due to the accessibility of high-speed Internet connectivity, users can acquire information on vast concepts known to humankind through the web on their laptops, desktops, or smartphones at any time or location. Digital-based learning is also more accessible for people with disabilities and can provide them with equal access. For this purpose, the Higher Education Government of India initiated Digital-based learning, which aims to enhance students’ soft skills, provide e-resources and promote technology awareness. This paper discusses the overview of digital learning, digital resources, and the Indian Government’s Higher Education Digital Learning initiative and its benefits for students, research scholars, and educational institutions. This kind of work showcasing different digital learning platforms and their aids is not done earlier. This paper provides information about the resources and the digital platforms and their uses, which would be useful for the trainers and the students.
