Computer-mediated learning environments support more active learning by enabling interactive and student-centered educational experiences. First, they offer real-time feedback through AI-powered platforms, allowing students to immediately correct mistakes and refine their understanding. Second, digital tools such as simulations, virtual labs, and gamified learning experiences encourage hands-on exploration and problem-solving. Third, collaborative technologies, including discussion forums, video conferencing, and shared documents, facilitate peer-to-peer learning and engagement beyond the classroom. Fourth, adaptive learning platforms personalize content based on student progress, ensuring that learners receive instruction tailored to their needs. Lastly, multimedia resources, such as videos, podcasts, and interactive modules, cater to diverse learning styles, making content more engaging and accessible. These features collectively enhance student motivation, participation, and deep learning.

It is undeniable that computers leverage the classroom’s productivity, interactivity and stimulate students’ interest. Active learning requires students to engage, contribute and control their learning, which can be supported thanks to CMLE.
To embark on, computers provide students with different learning experiences, which ask them to engage in the lesson. Take game as an example, as the teacher creates games and share to class via the use of tech tools, the atmosphere of the class is leveraged. More importantly, students can get access to unlimited sources of knowledge on the Internet, widening their understandings.
As to contribution, it is noticeable that students can get involved in the lesson with the assistance of Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, the tools that allow them to give feedbacks to their peers. Computers provide numerous forms of online learning and creating, therefore, students are parts of the lesson.
The self-directed learning relates to students’ learning autonomy. This is another ways that computers supporting more active learning. With a computer, or devices, students can get access to learning regardless of time or space. At this point, they can control their own learning without the help of teachers of educators.

Examples of ubiquitous learning devices: Padlet
Each student has different social backgrounds and that hugely support the social learning environment. As they complete a writing assignment and thus different perspectives are shown, Padlet is a place where they can share opinions, which diversifies the learning experiences.

Computers benefit students by providing interactive educational resources, multimedia learning content that caters to different learning styles, and access to online courses, adaptive learning programs and an endless amount of knowledge through the internet. This expands learning beyond the classroom. We are also no longer limited to classrooms. Learning can be done anytime and anywhere, and all students around the world can discover new knowledge on the same platforms.
The activities carried out through digital and interactive tools increase student concentration and, therefore, they assimilate concepts more quickly, enhancing learning. This type of tool involves students in more practical learning, with the aim of reinforcing what they have learnt.

This social learning idea works great in group projects, students from different locations collaborate using all kind of devices where they can access resources, communicate with others and work together in real time.
With access to various learning materials and communication tools, students can learn at their own pace and convenience and still collaborate in peer review moments, and group reflective activities, fostering critical thinking, self-reflection and continuous improvement of results.
Work groups well illustrates how social learning devices and platforms can effectively support collaboration, engagement, and personalized learning in an online environment, improving both the learning experience and results in the development of students' knowledge and skills.

With the widespread availability of computers, laptops, tables and smartphones, computer-based learning offers unprecedented accessibility and flexibility. Students can access educational resources and take online courses anytime, anywhere, enabling personalized learning experiences that fit different schedules, preferences and learning styles. Computer-based learning platforms provide interactive and engaging content through multimedia elements such as videos, simulations, games and interactive quizzes. Many computer-based learning systems include adaptive learning technologies that tailor the learning based on the individual needs, preferences, and performance of the student. Adaptive learning algorithms analyze student interaction and progress data to dynamically adjust the difficulty of learning activities, provide targeted feedback and provide personalized learning paths based on each student's strengths and weaknesses, optimizing learning outcomes.

Nowadays many schools are increasingly viewing technology-mediated educational programs as a key resource in differentiating themselves from other schools and in gaining a competitive advantage. Furthermore, with the increased availability of Internet and technologies, computer-mediated learning environments are on the rise in both higher education and corporate sectors of society. At the same time there has been an increased awareness among educators and researchers of the importance of human interaction in the learning process. Computer-mediated groupwork is an instructional strategy that combines online technologies with human interaction.@Hanae Qabil,

I think that, as the inclusion of technological resources in schools is something recent, we still don´t have significant data about the real impact of this change on educational environments. I believe the outcomes will speak for itself in cases of schools that are just putting computers in the classrooms without promoting any change in the interaction between students.

Social learning is a strategy that helps establish values peer to peer learning. I think it is a very effective method that helps learners to interact, exchange knowledge and then learn from each other. I think also social learning is linked to the learning by doing strategy, which is an educational approach that raises the cognitive and collaborative knowledge construction by supporting learners’ active participation and interaction.

In this vein, social learning or learning by doing is a paradigm that allows students to actively participate in a lifelike practical environment for understanding key principles. Such a paradigm is considered, as well as teaching by examples, to ground a ubiquitous auction learning system. I think that this strategy has been used to support ubiquitous learning outcomes. Since it brings collaborative problem solving, brainstorming, identification of sides and views and this could be done for example by mobile devices, tablets, or laptops etc. In this way, the combination of the use of technology in class and social learning or learning by doing will surely enhance students’ problem solving and better contribute to their learning outcomes.

The adoption of new technologies in education sector impact not only the modes in which teachers teach but also on the ways in which learners learn, Technology-mediated learning can help students to develop into independent learners who can continue to learn by themselves. Technology provides greater flexibility to adapt teaching and learning to meet learner’s cognitive and learning styles. researchers reported that rapid advances in information technology are reshaping the learning styles of many students in higher education; Emerging technologies can be used to deliver instruction that matched the learning style of the new generation of students. Therefore, it will be of a greater advantage for higher education to make use of modern technologies in a manner that encourages and optimizes learning. A student in higher education requires a very flexible environment to communicate and collaborate with their colleagues to accomplish task needed to succeed. Individual students regardless of their gender can meet, communicate and collaborate at any time at any place of their choice through technology as compliment to instruction, when technology is used to compliment instruction the emphasis is on providing opportunities to practice skills taught and extending learning by working with specific software application etc.

Computer-mediated learning environments (CMLEs) help students learn more actively by making learning more fun and engaging, giving students access to a wide range of educational tools, and letting students learn at their own pace and in their own way.
Computers are inherently attractive to many students, and CMLEs use this to their advantage. CMLEs can incorporate technology, gadgets, and animated interfaces to make learning more visually appealing and engaging. This helps students better understand and remember complex concepts.
CMLEs also allow students to actively construct their own knowledge by interacting with the material at their own pace. This is especially beneficial for students who learn best by doing.
CMLEs also provide opportunities for students to construct knowledge in real time through activities like simulations, problem-solving exercises, and collaborative projects. This allows students to see their progress and get immediate feedback.
Examples of how CMLEs support active learning include:
• Simulations: CMLEs can simulate real-world scenarios so students can practice complex concepts or skills in a safe and controlled environment.
• Problem-solving exercises: CMLEs can give students opportunities to work on real-world problems, helping them develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
• Collaborative projects: CMLEs can facilitate collaborative learning by letting students work together on projects, helping them develop communication and teamwork skills.
