Paper Title: Digital Pedagogy in Teaching Indian History: Opportunities under NEP 2020
Author:
Abstract:
Digital pedagogy offers new possibilities for teaching Indian History by making the subject more interactive, inclusive, and learner- centred. Under the National Education Policy 2020, technology integration is encouraged to improve access, creativity, critical thinking, and multidisciplinary learning. In History classrooms, digital tools such as virtual museums, timelines, maps, documentaries, podcasts, online archives, and interactive presentations can help students connect historical events with places, people, sources, and contexts. These methods can reduce rote learning and encourage inquiry-based understanding of India’s political, social, cultural, and economic past. NEP 2020 also supports digital platforms, teacher training, and innovative assessment methods, which can strengthen History education. Effective implementation depends on equal access to devices and internet, proper teacher preparation, reliable digital content, and balanced use of technology. Therefore, digital pedagogy can enhance historical understanding when used thoughtfully with traditional teaching methods.
