As education becomes more digitized, instructional materials must be compatible with various platforms, devices, and software. This can be tricky due to different technical requirements and the pace at which technology evolves.
Technology Integration
Instructional materials must cater to various learning styles, backgrounds, and abilities. Creating inclusive content that is accessible to all, including students with disabilities (e.g., through captions, audio descriptions, or adaptive technologies), requires extra attention.
Diverse Learner Needs
Traditional textbooks and static content may not hold learners’ attention as effectively as more interactive and engaging formats. Developing materials that experiences can be challenging and time-consuming.
Engagement and Interactivity
