Description of Invention

As the digital landscape evolves, the need for digital literacy in higher education has become essential, particularly for international students. This study explores the factors that contribute to or hinder digital literacy among international students in Malaysian universities. Contributing factors include student motivation, institutional support, and teacher preparedness. However, challenges such as limited technology access, socioeconomic disparities, inadequate teacher training, and cultural barriers hinder progress. This research aims to identify these factors and provide recommendations to improve digital literacy programs, ultimately enhancing the academic performance and employability of students.
