Abstract

This paper explores the effect of students' involvement in online educational communities on their learning outcomes from 2010 to 2022. It investigates the role of active participation in digital forums, social media, and online platforms in boosting students' motivation, enhancing their grasp of educational content, and cultivating essential skills for effective learning. The study utilizes qualitative and quantitative research methods, such as interviews, surveys, and examining educational achievements. It reveals that students engaging actively in online communities demonstrate superior academic results to their less‐engaged counterparts. Additionally, the research highlights challenges in upholding academic integrity and crafting viable strategies for selfmanagement in digital settings. These insights offer valuable contributions to developing educational practices and adopting tech‐based solutions to elevate student engagement and academic performance in today's digital age. A key finding is emphasizing the creation of an encouraging and dynamic online educational environment that promotes active participation and collaboration.
