Abstract

At present, there are various developments in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and their importance for the advancement of society. One of the most representative developments has to do with the population’s education. Their consonance gives the significance of ICTs with digital transformation, and it is in this sense, that digital platforms emerge as facilitators of education in digital environments. This paper aims to present the e4you digital platform and, through an in-depth study of it, provide insight into the benefits of working in education on this type of platform. It is demonstrated that the platform fulfils its functioning with flexibility and ubiquity, collaborative environments, efficiency and effectiveness of student learning, multifunctionality, motivation and personalisation.
