Digital learning and its impact on the well-being of college students
Author : Dr. Shobha
Abstract
The transformation of higher education through digital learning has brought significant structural and pedagogical changes. While technology-driven education has enhanced accessibility and flexibility, it has also posed complex challenges to student well-being. This study investigates the impact of digital learning on various dimensions of college students’ well-being, including mental health, physical health, social interaction, sleep quality, and academic stress. Using a mixed-methods approach combining surveys and secondary data analysis, the study found that while digital learning platforms provided greater convenience and learning flexibility, they were also associated with heightened levels of anxiety, physical inactivity, academic burnout, and social isolation. The findings call for a rethinking of educational strategies to integrate supportive structures that promote students' psychological, emotional, and physical wellness.
