Undergraduate Students' Digital Literacy Skills in the Digital World of Sustainable Development

The world of globalization and the high development speed has raised high demands on equitable quality education and lifelong learning to all, which is also known as the objectives of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4). Thanks to the rapid expansion of digital technology, educational quality and equity are gradually achieved. In addition, information technology (IT) plays vital roles of electronic instructors, guiders, tools and materials in supporting individuals' lifelong learning. Therefore, it is tremendously crucial that young generations should prepare themselves not only academic competencies but also a variety of skills including digital skills (e-skills) in a digital society that is densely linked and moves at a quick pace. This research emphasizes the significance of being digitally-enabled in the sustainable development world. It aims to find out how undergraduate students view themselves in terms of several facets of digital literacy, such as the capacity to handle digital issues, the processing of data and information, the production of online contents, the usage of communication tools and the ability to create online contents. The findings give an analysis of university students' current digital literacy and their application, whose outcomes can be used to enhance learning, teaching and administrative activities in education in general; and to attain SDG4 in particular.
