Digital tools and media are a widespread phenomenon in the current educational environment: with the development of information and communication technologies, education has taken on a new environment that has transformed from a traditional analogue to a modern digital environment. When using digital tools and media in an educational environment, it is necessary to satisfy parameters such as checking the characteristics and correctness of the equipment necessary for the reproduction of digital tools and media. Digital tools such as digital textbooks and quiz platforms such as Kahoot! PowerPoint, MentiMeter and others serve the purpose of quality presentation with the help of digital media. The quality of a digital tool is determined by parameters such as ease of use, simplicity of the user interface, the possibility of presentation and data transfer, which may also include digital media such as images, videos, audio recordings, or an amalgamation in the form of a video game.
