“…In his research, Ivankovic [4] defined ICT skills as an ability to use information technology and communication tools that are described in the ability to access the Internet, and organize, integrate, evaluate, and produce functional information. UNESCO, a PBB agency, grouping ICT capabilities into three, namely: (a) the competence of digital literacy related to the use of ICT for presentations in the classroom and the involvement of digital tools in obtaining information; (b) implementation competencies namely skills and knowledge to work on complex projects or tasks, solving with simulations of a problem in the real world; and (c) ethical competence related to the use of ICT legally and responsibly [8].…”

Nowadays, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) competency, well known as ICT literacy, is an essential prerequisite for modern professionals. The purpose of this study is to measure the level of ICT literacy of university students. The first section in your paper. The study adopts the People Capability Maturity Model (P-CMM) framework to measure the ICT literacy level and Digital Competency (DIGCOMP) to identify the factors. The data are collected using online questionnaires from a random sample of 400 students in Indonesia. The level of literacy is just a weighted average of the participants' responses. The results suggest that the level of ICT literacy of Indonesian university students is in level three, indicating that on average, the students understand and can applyICT consistently to achieve their objectives.

“…In order to study people's digital skills, researchers have started to develop digital literacy measures. However, currently existing measures have several limitations, such as not being up to date with the fast changes in technology (Wilson et al, 2015), having a narrow focus on the Internet at the omission of other technological developments (Hargittai & Hsieh, 2012;Lee & Chae, 2012;Len-Ríos, Hughes, McKee, & Young, 2016;Tsai & Tsai, 2010) or not having been validated (Pino Juste & Soto Carballo, 2010;Gastelú, Kiss, & Domínguez, 2015;Li & Ranieri, 2010;Park & Burford, 2013). Others have been validated only among children, adults or young adults, but not among adolescents (Boyaci & Atalay, 2016;Bunz et al, 2007;Helsper & Eynon, 2013;Koc & Barut, 2016;Park & Burford, 2013;Røkenes & Krumsvik, 2016).…”

In recent years, discussions have sparked about the risks and opportunities that digital technologies may have for adolescents. Some researchers argue that the best way to increase online opportunities and avoid online risks is to increase adolescents' digital skills. For this reason, the first goal of this study was to examine how adolescents' digital skills are related to their online opportunities and online risks behaviours. A second goal was to examine the influence of two ways of parental mediation (active and restrictive) on the level of teenagers' digital skills, and subsequently their online opportunities and online risks. Finally, we intended to establish the validity and the structure of the Digital Literacy Scale. Using data from a cross-sectional survey of 1.446 Spanish secondary school pupils, we found that more digitally skilled adolescents take more opportunities, and experience more risks. Digital literacy mediates the relationship between restrictive (but not of active) parental mediation and online risks and opportunities. Furthermore, the Digital Literacy Scale was shown to be valid in terms of construct validity. The findings suggest that digital literacy remains essential as it lets teenagers take more opportunities, and that parents should opt for other ways of mediation rather than restrictive mediation.

“…The problematic of communications in higher education institution is mentioned in most studies in the context of economic problems in the course of university digitalization [15], measuring the degree of university equipment with technical means [16; 17; 18], all these works about digital transformation in the system of higher professional education and evaluation of ICT competencies of participants in the educational process [19], in particular of university teachers [20; 21]. In our opinion, such study allows identifying the environment for communications and the initial conditions for their successful implementation.…”

Problem and goal. In the context of digital globalization traditional forms of communication at the university are forced to transform in order to meet educational objectives. However, the established practice of building communications in universities in new formats has revealed a number of problems of ineffective interaction between participants in the educational process. The article aims to identify the main features of the transformation of the forms of communication in distance learning at the university. Particular attention is paid to the conditions for the formation of an effective digital dialogue in the university-student-teacher triad. Materials and research methods. The study of the transformation of communication is considered from an economic, pedagogical, and philological (semiological) point of view. The economic approach includes consideration of resource constraints that prevent the development of various forms of communication in the educational space, and an assessment of the effectiveness of the communication process. The pedagogical approach allows to evaluate the technologies and formats of communication in online learning. The semiological approach is focused on the choice of techniques and schemes that are adequate to digital dialogue. The empirical research was carried out using the questionnaire. The survey involved 2–4-year students at the Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B. N. Yeltsin. Research results. In the 2020–2021 academic year, students were able to adapt to rapid inclusion in distance learning and the use of digital technologies, but half of the students prefer to return to the traditional format of education, 39% of students for a mixed (blended learning) format. It was found that if the verbal forms of communication when transferring the course content from the teacher to the students were not transformed taking into account the digital environment and online learning, then this could lead to unnecessary complexity for perception (according to 54.5% of respondents), the appearance of information noise, as a consequence, the appearance of discomfort (for 40% of the respondents) and attempts to avoid communication (for 18%). 52% of students indicated that their opinion about distance improved over time. Discussion and conclusions. The authors concluded that digital skills today mean more than digital literacy. In communication, it is important to develop new technologies, techniques and tools that are adequate to new educational and upbringing tasks. And in modern conditions, burdened by pandemic threats, other ways of digitalizing the university with the construction of effective communications are rather impossible.
