The COVID-19 epidemic has prompted calls for increased digital literacy training among university lecturers or educators to enable greater use of online courses. Some educators go to great lengths to involve their students in classroom discussions and activities. Therefore, interactive technology has solved the problem and enabled a higher rate of active learning among students. They can enrich their college life while fostering a better sense of belonging. The incorporation of interactive technologies into the lectures has increased the learning experience, the achievement of learning goals, and the motivation of the students. Students are free to express themselves and participate in activities that require assessment without worrying about how they will be perceived by their peers. This research examines the potential pedagogical implications of a popular form of interactive technology used by students in the classroom. The results also showed how students can effectively incorporate technology strategies into their classroom routines. This research contributes to the understanding of the role of interactive technologies in higher education.
