Abstract:

Students are often thought of as digital natives. Despite the fact that many students were raised in digital surroundings, there is still a difference in the degree of proficiency and familiarity with technology, depending on both experience and access. For instance, students could be able to utilize an app, but they might not know how to organize documents, make folders, convert a document to a PDF, or access a variety of instructional materials. We must address these obstacles and provide students with the tools they need to take full advantage of the resources at their disposal in order to do this.
