The authors emphasize that digital tools leverage interactivity, multimedia content, game mechanics, and personalization to foster student autonomy, critical thinking, and active engagement. While highlighting the didactic potential of mobile learning for individualized education, the study underscores the necessity of teacher supervision to maintain focus and prevent digital distractions.
