Integration of Digital Media in Teaching
For a term paper as part of my studies, I would like to investigate the positive and negative aspects of integrating digital media into teaching, known as mobile learning. Mobile learning is a form of learning supported by electronic tools, such as apps related to the lessons.
I am interested in the opinions of students and teachers, which I would like to include in my work. I would greatly appreciate your support by participating in this anonymized survey!

I would also like to know your own opinion on the use of digital media in teaching or learning. I would greatly appreciate it if you could include a concluding statement in the free text field! To help me determine whether your opinion is that of a student or a teacher, please make this clear.
- na
- digital media has certain drawbacks too, such as eye strain, so it should be used in moderation.
- teacher: as with any medium, it depends on the fit. in my opinion, digital media can still be motivating at the moment because they seem new and are more rooted in the world of students than in that of teachers. digitalization offers opportunities for securing and disseminating contributions and results. however, the dependence on functioning technology, for example with smartboards in schools, proves to be more of a risk given the tight budgets of school authorities. competent handling of media usually requires text competence, which is often better acquired through non-digitized materials.
- student
- as a teacher, i greatly appreciate the use of digital media in designing my lessons. on one hand, the multimedia design of learning processes makes it possible to cater to different learning types: for example, video and audio documents to support visual and often affective learning processes. on the other hand, online learning platforms like moodle enable the provision of teaching materials as well as further learning opportunities. however, it must be noted that such elearning offerings require significant additional effort from teachers. a poorly maintained platform is, in my opinion, rather misleading and can be demotivating for learners. when conducting lessons, greater attention must be paid to a meaningful phrasing of the lesson sections (derivation of the problem, phases of development, consolidation phases, etc.), as otherwise multimedia content could lead to "overstimulation" and distract from the actual learning objective.
- g., teacher at a secondary school: we live in a time when most students are digital natives. therefore, i believe it is appropriate to use media familiar to the students in class alongside traditional media. beyond using them as learning aids, the handling of digital media should also be part of the curriculum. i have experienced several times that students have been too careless with their personal data.
- i find the use of digital media in teaching to be partly sensible and helpful, as long as it is kept within limits and does not become the main learning method.
- in today's era of globalization, especially in the field of communication technology, i find it essential to embrace digital media in education. one cannot avoid technological advancements; they shape our daily lives (see smartphones as communication tools, computers as encyclopedias). in almost all industries, digital media are used, and a proper and familiar handling of current information and communication technologies is nowadays one of the requirements for job applications. therefore, in my opinion, early engagement with digital media in education is very beneficial and highly recommended, as they will shape the future.

- in our dual study program, there is hardly any other way to access the latest information; moreover, one has to acquire many technical terms on their own alongside it, so smartphones, tablets, and laptops are constant companions. the smartphone is the most readily available of all, and its handling is quicker due to its use in everyday life.
- i think it's good when we are allowed to use our phones or access computers in class. it makes the lessons feel a bit freer. however, it sometimes happens that many students drift off topic and spend time on facebook, whatsapp, etc. at home, when studying for tests or preparing presentations, digital media have become almost indispensable; it's just quick. nevertheless, one shouldn't cling to digital media all the time, as it can happen that while researching, you don't actually learn anything because you're too distracted by ads or similar things.
