Abstract

Traditional in-person teaching and printed materials in education has replaced with technology-enhanced learning. Internet and different digital tools are started incorporating in education setting and particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic, online resources, digital platforms become essential components of modern pedagogic practices. NEP 2020 promotes this transition to foster student inclusivity, engagement and learning outcomes, by providing support to technology-enabled education and encouraging the use of virtual labs, digital materials, blended learning approaches and interactive platforms. Edpuzzle is a digital educational platform that allows teachers to make a video an interactive lesson by embedding quizzes, questions and notes while tracking responses and progress to make learning engaging and active. This paper explores the advantages of incorporating Edpuzzle as pedagogical tool in the classrooms; it also explores the challenges regarding the integration of Edpuzzle in classroom. For the present study, the investigator employed an exploratory approach to gather information or data from the existing research. To locate relevant articles, scholarly reports and conference papers the investigator has used academic databases such as Scopus, ERIC, Google Scholar and JSTOR etc. Findings indicate that while Edpuzzle supports active learning, critical thinking, and improved student performance, its adoption is hindered by issues such as limited access to technology and internet connectivity, time-intensive content preparation, the learning curve for teachers, and potential student resistance. The study further suggests measures to overcome these barriers in the discussion part.
