Digital technologies have taken over the dominant form of classroom and informal study. Using digital technologies each day will help to gain knowledge understand concepts and learn new ways of seeing the things around them. The two key components of our study are digital learning and student engagement with digital technology. Digital media empowers new types of learning, development and deployment in all types of educational environment .On the other hand it also provides exposure. The research paper provides a framework comprising of digital learning and student engagement in an academic institute. It also studies the benefits of this model for the internal and external end users. To explore more about how digital technology could enhance student engagement and learning, we examined current background research literature, practices and B-School log reports. This research was enriched by collaboration with faculties who worked on data management from different B-Schools.
