Abstract

Digital literacy cultivation of college students is a basic project for universities to support the construction of Digital China, a powerful way to cope with new forms of employment, a key measure to promote the cultivation of innovative talents, and a powerful factor to trigger educational ecological innovation. The cultivation of digital literacy among college students generally faces practical difficulties such as lagging educational concepts and goal orientations, outdated curriculum systems and teaching content, insufficient resource supply and guarantee conditions, and uneven student ability foundation and development. Colleges and universities urgently need to provide sufficient talent supply for the development of Chinese-style modernization by building a full-cycle systematic training system, creating a hierarchical and classified adaptive teaching system, improving all-round collaborative support capabilities, and stimulating students' independent improvement and practical application efficiency.
