Basically, when we say digital teaching is the use of technology in teaching and learning processes. The use of hardware (gadgets, laptops, smartphone, etc) and the software (applications, programs), be it online or offline, in facilitating teaching and learning where learners are actively engaged are parts of digital teaching. Absence of these are not part of digital learning.

Digital and non-digital methods of teaching refer to the use of technology and traditional approaches, respectively, for educational purposes.

Here are some key differences between these two methods:

Both digital and non-digital methods have their own strengths and limitations. The choice between these methods often depends on the learning objectives, resources available, student preferences, and the specific context of education.

Please see the paper below which shows an example of digital training during the pandemic in manufacturing.

None digital methods are the same as mentioned by the other respondents, i.e. in my opinion more traditional training methods i.e. Classroom based training, on the job training at the workface, etc.

Hope that helps.

Digital and non-digital methods of teaching is both significant in delivering the lessons to the students. However, digital method has an edge over the non-digital method in terms of fast tracking the delivery of the lessons. Students can easily access the materials and participate in online classes virtually anywhere with an internet connection. But if places with intermittent connection digital method could also be the problem. While non-digital method of teaching or the conventional way be of great advantage wherein socialization of students be developed in face-to-face setting. This method promotes a more focused and immersive learning environment that involve direct and in-person interactions between educators and students, fostering stronger relationships and more immediate support. Eventually, the choice between digital and non-digital teaching methods should be guided by the specific educational goals, the needs of students, and the available resources.

Thank you very much

Thank you

Interesting question and replies.

It definetely has to do with the roles and duties of teachers and learners.

For example in computer assisted inquiry-based learning, it is crucial to encourage learners to use the computer and do research that will help them answer a question (inquiry). The students have highly active role in using the computer.

On the other hand, when a teacher just delivers information and uses a website instead of the print-textbook, the learners have passive role just as in traditional lessons. The difference of using digital instead of print material might not be so significant.

Roles matter after a point or so.

Digital teaching skills: comparative study in higher education

Molina, Gloria Milagros Torres; Coronado, Míriam Liliana Flores; Falcon, Carlos Fabian; Rivera-Zamudio, July; Lira, Luis Alberto Núñez, (2021)

"Within the teaching skills, digital competence is fundamental for those who exercise teaching and, in this way, can enhance their classes in a highly digital society; such competence must allow the construction, processing, evaluation and classification of topics taught in a classroom. The term "competence" has been defined as the progressive and dynamic development of skills and/or capacities for the sole purpose of achieving systemic and holistic development throughout life . In this regard, it is appropriate to design appropriate programmes that allow higher education institutions to be convinced that teachers have achieved them; for this reason, the levels of digital skills held by teachers should be specified when they enter their classrooms; from this baseline, adequate teaching can be certified to the current requirements; having the necessary digital skills will help the academic process, accepting that the work environment is currently a highly digital environment; it is then important and necessary for educational institutions to ensure the achievement of these competences in all their teachers, since otherwise we would be facing traditional sessions, behavioural and without the necessary teaching strategies to achieve the desired objectives .

Therefore, teaching skills are aspects of interest in today's academic world, where institutions establish actions that seek education appropriate to the current context and with highly trained teachers, equipped with technological and didactic tools.

It is indicated that the digital skills will enable the proposed pedagogical objectives to be achieved and, in this way, learning, inclusion in the society where the teacher becomes the engine of this process. Thus, both Zahonero and Martín (2012) and López (2014) stated that these competencies allow to carry out with efficiency and autonomy the work entrusted, in addition to accompanying the learning processes."
