Leveraging digital accelerates access to knowledge beyond the classroom and cultivates student driven deep learning. When used purposefully and intentionally, it can support the other three elements “Learning Partnerships, Learning Environments and Pedagogical Practices” to deepen student learning.

As we move from asking students to be consumers of knowledge to asking them to create and apply their solutions to real-world problems, the digital world enables collaboration and multi modal communication, new ways to create and share knowledge, and opportunities to amplify, accelerate and connect learners and learning. Effective use of digital facilitates Deep Learning, regardless of geographic location or time of day, and supports students’ capacity to take control of their own learning both within and outside the classroom walls.  -NPDL
