Abstract
The digital economy is a big change that comes from innovative technologies, especially the Internet, artificial intelligence, and large amounts of data. This shift has improved learning by making it easier for people to get and get educational supplies. Online platforms like Massive Open Online Courses ( MOOCs ) and learning management systems ( LMS ) provide more people with access to good educational materials. This helps break down the barriers caused by area and money that have made it difficult for some people to get training in the past. The digital divide creates major problems because not everyone has the same access to technology and excellent online. This may make previously existing inequalities worse, especially for disadvantaged communities. Moreover, more people need to be good at using modern technology because kids have to learn how to utilize online websites. Making sure everyone gets virtual learning resources is very important for using the digital economy to help improve education for all. By tackling the problems of uneven access to technology and including online skills in school programs, people involved can create a more loving training program that helps everyone get back and promotes fairness in the economy.
