Leveraging Digital Technologies to Enhance the Quality of Student-Centered Learning: A Systematic Analysis of Blended Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and Interactive Platforms

Abstract

The ongoing shift toward student-centered learning is increasingly supported by the adoption of digital technologies, particularly blended learning, artificial intelligence (AI), and a range of interactive platforms. This article presents a systematic analysis of recent studies examining how these three domains contribute to improved learner autonomy, engagement, and collaboration across educational levels. The findings indicate that blended learning—when designed using active pedagogical principles—enhances cognitive, affective, and behavioral engagement while providing flexibility in learning pace and learning spaces. The integration of AI and learning analytics facilitates the personalization of learning experiences, delivers adaptive feedback, and strengthens self-regulated learning through continuous monitoring and recommendation mechanisms. Furthermore, interactive platforms such as learning management systems, social networking sites, and immersive virtual environments enable collaborative learning and foster more egalitarian learning communities. Nonetheless, the literature highlights persistent challenges related to educators’ digital literacy, infrastructure disparities, and ethical as well as data-privacy concerns, which call for a human-centred approach in the design and implementation of educational technologies. This article therefore recommends strengthening blended-learning design, implementing ethically grounded AI integration, and leveraging interactive platforms to broaden opportunities for students to participate as co-designers of the learning process.
