Researchers at the Universidad Ana G. Méndez, Carolina Campus, Puerto Rico, assessed digital inequities among university students and explored how digital skills education can improve university-level education. The results revealed a low prevalence of barriers to Internet use and access among the sample subjects. Subjects consistently connected to the Internet via their mobile phones, at home, and within the university context. There was a high demand for learning digital applications, such as CapCut and Canva, as well as information about artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. Participants reported an increased perception of knowledge regarding concepts such as the digital divide, digital equity, and the digital skills emphasized in the workshop.
