This chapter aims to analyse digital education in the twenty-first century, a
complicated topic with tremendous advancements and challenges. We ana-
lyse digital education from different angles and like this we want to analyse
his substantial significance in the modern education framework. This approach
highlights several benefits, such as extensive educational opportunities, en-
gaging and dynamic learning opportunities, and tailored training that meets
each learner's needs. However, we also discuss the inherent challenges that
the digital education brings to us nowadays, they include the availability and
fairness, the technology limitations, and the absence of in-person social inter-
action. Another important aspect to analyse is the significant impact of the
digital education on the pedagogical approaches and how the digital educa-
tion could affect globalisation, specifically how it might help people engage
across cultural boundaries and overcome specific constraints. To conclude, we
also analyse new trends like gamification, virtual and augmented reality, and
artificial intelligence to find possible future directions for digital education. The
chapter ends by stating that to fully realise the potential of digital education
and create an inclusive and successful learning environment for the future,
these opportunities and challenges must be continuously explored.

Introduction
Goals
The chapter look to the perspectives and experiences of digital education in
the education institutions. This is a very important topic since recent studies
indicate that digital education can significantly influence students' learning
experiences and outcomes (Nurmalisa et al., 3; Gutiérrez-Ángel et al., ;
Brown, ). The aim is to try to analyse the different perspectives from the
education setting, which includes students and teachers, which is probably
the most important group to listen to in times like this. So let's enter into a
fruitful discussion in the following sections.
