Abstract

Digital literacy among undergraduate student is very important, because in the current digital era, the younger generation is expected to be able to master digital literacy for various benefits for learning and their future. The objective of this paper is to identify the succes factors for enhancing digital literacy among undergraduate students. To address this issue, we used PRISMA flowchart, which offers a methodological framework and reporting procedure for the current review. There were 20 articles which reviewed in this paper. These findings show that seven main factors have emerged to answer the objective of this study, namely digital knowledge, communication skill, collaboration skill, ICT infrastructure, social environment, social media, and learning activity. This paper is expected to foster the interest of other researchers and reveal other factors that can influence factors for enhancing digital literacy among undergraduate students, because many other factors can also be raised in research on digital literacy in the world of education.
