Digital Pathways to Social and Emotional Learning:Leveraging Technology for Holistic Student Development
This chapter explores how digital tools can improve Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and help develop students holistically. It looks at how educational technology can fall within three distinct categories of SEL: technology-enhanced gamified learning, online collaboration spaces, and classroom-based Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven feedback and evaluation. This chapter emphasizes using interactive approaches that foster self-awareness, empathy, responsible decision-making, and interpersonal skillsusing data-driven approaches in order to make the student more aware of their own learning. This chapter discusses the benefits and challenges; the equity issues; and provides tangible ideas and strategies for educators and policy-makers. By connecting the principles of SEL with digital innovations, the chapter demonstrates ways that we can create meaningful, richer, inclusive, and emotionally safe learning conditions for students in both formal, and informal settings. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
