Digital learning, online platforms, semi-emotional development, educational technology, collaborative learningAbstract
Digital learning platforms and online educational environments have reshaped traditional pedagogical practices, profoundly influencing the social-emotional development (SEL) of learners. This review explores the dual impact of these platforms, highlighting opportunities for fostering collaboration and accessibility while addressing challenges such as isolation and reduced interpersonal skills. Strategies to enhance SEL in digital contexts and policy recommendations are presented, offering insights for educators and developers to create inclusive, emotionally supportive digital learning environments.
