ABSTRACT

Digital learning is any instructional practice that effectively uses technology to strengthen a student's learning experience. This chapter identifies the problems and motivation factors for linguistically diverse first-year university students caused by quality of digital learning. Learning by Latvian as a second language (LSL) students should be built on the educational and personal experiences they bring to the educational establishment. Methods for diagnoses of the degree of risk preparedness, motivation to success, and motivation to avoiding failures have been tested for all students during the course: at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end. Digital learning and machine translation technology is constantly being applied by linguistically diverse students in the study process and that strengthens the students' learning experience and motivation. Digital learning objects are often considered complete and whole the moment they are uploaded into a digital learning repository.
