Abstract:
Modern technology has completely altered our way of life. Because of these shifts, technology has made our lives easier, quicker, and more enjoyable. The emergence of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, however, shocked the world and had a significant influence on people's lives everywhere. This had a profound effect on nearly every facet of life, including education, and the Philippines was not an exception. The purpose of this research was to assess the level of technological and digital literacy among 1,408 undergraduates at a state university in the Philippines using a cross-sectional explanatory design. The results of the study show that students have a very high level of digital competence in terms of communication and collaboration. This implies that the students are well-versed in communicating and collaborating with other people in an online learning environment. Additionally, respondents with a high level of technological skill thought that the use of technology was generally accepted. Given the importance of students being at ease with the use of technological tools in online learning, this finding strongly suggests that educational administrators should extend its support by providing ICT infrastructures to maximize students' potential in using digital tools while learning. Additionally, educational institutions should keep giving students comprehensive training and technical assistance so they can advance their digital and technological knowledge and abilities.
